benski_sullivan Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 Ello, Found time to search for your post zazzn. Your right I'm not much of a clubby type unless it's some dingy hole with banging music and flashing lights. Might pop along to a meet sometime because then someone might be able to tell me why I get a vibration at about 80mph !!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had new tyres or wheels fitted recently? they could be incorrectly balanced, any metallic type noises too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benski_sullivan Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 Had new tyres or wheels fitted recently? they could be incorrectly balanced, any metallic type noises too? The tyres an alloys came with the car when purchased but look fairly new. I do get a metallic noise when turning at full lock and also I've noticed this morning a slight high pitch metallic sound when driving along.

Tom Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 Could well be a wheel bearing, this is something you could check yourself or take it to garage to see what they think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stonkin Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 Just jack the car up mate on the corner that is squeeking and see if the wheel has any movement side to side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benski_sullivan Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 Thanks for all your advice guys, Decided my best option was to take the car to a tyre specialist and have the wheel balanced but unfortunately it would have seemed that the previous owner had fitted them without spacer thingie's and used the wrong wheelnuts, one was even missing but I think I was made aware of that by Colin when I bought it. Consequently three of the alloys we're buckled quite badly, one so bad that the guy described it as "Nearly effing square" so I've just shelled out £600 on new set. I'm just wondering if there is a worthwhile insurance claim on this ?!?!? By the way I in no way blame Colin for this, he sold it in good faith and couldn't possible have known that the previous owner was a bit of a knob jockey.
