alessandro Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 Used the car this afternoon and no problem as always good as gold, but tonight........... Went to work fine but on my way back home while parking I turned the wheels all the way to the left and had loud squicky ( sorry about the spelling ) noise coming from the front right wheel area a bit like a car with a knackered belt. Hope it make sense... Any idea? the car was serviced last week and got the garage to check the new tyre were put up the same day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtbiscuit Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 if it has a new tyre on it maybe that which squeeked, new tyres have a release agent on them and until they wear off it can make the wheels a bit squeeky, just like wet trainers on a school corridor floor.

alessandro Posted November 8, 2009 Author Share Posted November 8, 2009 It was a loud noise, as loud as an old car with an old cam belt ( is this how you spell it? ), emma could hear it from the bedroom and I park on the road right in front of the house Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtbiscuit Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 without being there its difficult to diagnose a noise. if the car wasn't moving and you turned the wheel onto full lock it might have caused the sqweek, but how loud i don't know. without more info its not an easy guess. would need to know what the car was doing at the time when and where it happened etc. my advice, put the car back in the same place and redo the wheel turn manouver. if its the new tyres the their is the same conditions it should do it again. if it doesn't i tmight be something else. keep an eye on it and see if and when it comes back. might just be a one off.

ZMANALEX Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 PAS belt I guess requires adjustment or replacement. Also check the PAS oil level. Alex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PKAT Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Thanks, the noise come out while slowly turning and on full lock, tryed to turn the wheel again while stationary and had the same noise pretty close to the full lock position. Will try again tomorrow afetr work I had that, on full lock, after they replaced my brake pads. The spring wasn't in properly. I didn't hear it on anything other than full lock. Could also feel it through the steering wheel... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UNABASHED Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 sounds like power steering belt - my old car did that when putting the wheel on full lock when i was parking up. Just get it replaced - no idea how much on a Z though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PKAT Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 turning the wheels whilst stationary puts the bearings under too much strain (I was told this years ago, so might be wrong!! ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
