306 Drivers Size Squeak at 30mph up

Jan 22, 2006 5 Replies

Afternoon,



Subject says it all really. This morning I jacked up the passenger side of my car to get a look at something, and later that morning I find what I can only assume to be the drivers side front wheel is squeaking at



30mph upward. It doesn't seem to be affecting driving and with music on I won't hear it, but I suppose there must be an explanation. Any ideas or anywhere obvious I can spray WD40 or oil?

Cheers, Tom.


Does the tone change as speed increases?

I had a noise which started at about 35 mph, and it turned out to be a piece of plastic trim that was loose, playing a note in the wind. The tell-tale sign was the change of note (and onset speed road speed) when a decent headwind was present.

Doesn't seem to change, so i'm still stumped..

Could you have inadvertently caught the mudflap and moved/loosened it. I traced a noise on my 406 to that on a couple of occasions. It had a metal reinforcing strip that got bent.

As heading. Maybe it's the driver's size.

After some 20 posts in this thread it still took someone pointing it out for me to notice. Everybody gains a little weight at Christmas ;)
