Squek from the back left?? - Darren123 - 03-06-2013
So theres a squek constantly when im driving, sounds like the back left of my 306 ..... any ideas what this could be?

Mmmm normally i'd make a joke about your location and the method of lowering beams you as a country seem to favour, but you've proved you're an exception to the bumpstop rule
In all seriousness though, if it's a creaky squeak it could well be trailing arm bearings have packed in. Noticed any camber or movement of the arm? Could be a squeaky shock too?

But yeah, theres camber alright!! .... just looked, notice the retainer holding the cables is missing from the left side? :/ hardly make any difference?(03-06-2013, 10:19 PM)kentiiboii Wrote:Yeah, awful nice when i break lighl.

Chris sins about right then

If there's camber it's 99.9% the bearings that have packed in then.. depending how bad, you might be able to rebuild that beam, or start saving for a replacement

Put it up on the lift, oiled it and its gone :O might not have greased it putting it back together :/
RE: Squek from the back left?? - cwspellowe - 04-06-2013
It'll probably come back then, the bearings should be greased out the packet so they've probably dried out?

In fact if you lubed it, the rubber seals at the end of the tube will be f*cked too or there'd be no way the oil would get in

Joys of cars
hahaha so what effect that gonna have?
RE: Squek from the back left?? - cwspellowe - 04-06-2013
Condensation in the beam tube leading to corrosion and collapsed bearings, eventually major camber and beam death, if it gets REAL bad the actual arm will seize in the tube. My old 205 beam was f*cked, the trailing arm didn't even move aha

I'd want to change it fast so? .... Is changing the beam a hard job?
RE: Squek from the back left?? - ADV_93 - 15-06-2013
Could be as simple as a rear damper, had a massive squeal and knocking on mine then found that one of the damper bushes had eaten itself...
RE: Squek from the back left?? - Piggy - 15-06-2013
if he has oiled it and its stopped...it aint the damper.
sounds just like a knackered beam.
oil is just masking the issue

I think you'll find it's 6 nuts, so ner.
RE: Squek from the back left?? - Piggy - 15-06-2013
yeah...just brake pipe connections that can be a pig.
best to jack up car, remove exhaust back end and spare wheel/cage.
I find leaving wheels on handy if doing by self to help roll it out and new one in

Must go for that rear axle tommorow or soon! Should it be ok even though its been parked outside with a year or two? :/

Check it for camber whist it still on tue car. If you notice camber dont bother buying it
