Right this squeak is driving me nuts. it ONLY happens on left hand turns. the volume does not change at all whether it be a soft left turn or a hard left turn.
I have replaced:
Wheel bearing
shock absorber
spring

I got the lower arm checked by a garage and they said there was no reason to get them changed as they were fine.
Now it sounds like a vibrating squeak but i bit grindy as well(if that makes ANY sense)

The only thing left is the ARB? Would this cause this kind of sound, if the bushes were worn as it does take the strain on corners obviously?
Any other ideas from people?
Cheers

u have proberly over tightened the hub nut mate causing the wheel bearing to make a noise, loosen it off a bit and put the tabs back down and try it,

if not its not tight enough, not supposed to be mega tight though.

Bearing is definitly not the problem mate. this is like the 5th time ive done it and never had a problem with any of the other cars. so its deffo torqued up right

Right i have now replaced in total:

Spring
Shock
Brake Disk
Brake Pads
Hub
Wheel Bearings
Callipers are re-cons
Removed,inspected,cleaned anti roll bar
Garage has checked and a.o.k'd lower arms.

AND THE SQUEAK IS STILL THERE!!!!

Been doing some searching and the only thing i can now think of is the possibility of the brakes rubbing. now it did it with the old hub/brakes so its somethin i havent changed...
the flexible brake line.

Now if this is worn/swelling would it cause the piston to be sticking, or generally causing binding and would this cause the squeak? Remembering its ONLY on left turns
Any ideas. Come on people,shed some light,lol

mine does it mate, when i turn left, are u deffo sure the hub nut is tight, put a big bar on it and crank it round, i have to re-tighten mine every week with the tabs all down, i know when it come loose as the wheel squeak, or i can hear a brake disc sound rubbing on the pads!

I had this on my fiesta turbo, was centre hub nut come lose, tightened it with new nut happened again, ended up lock tighting not on, been ok since

I've got the same problem. Checking the nut when I get home tonight.

haz87

did it up pretty tight. doesnt it eventually seize the bearings if you tighten it up too much?

daz1968

Only did mine to book torque settings, but nut kept lifting out of groove in driveshaft and loosening, since put locktight on and still tightened to book settings all has been fine for nearly 12 months now, but I don't know why it kept happenning

GrimmeRS2K

the hub nut only has to become loose slightly for a major effect, like squeaks etc
