Hello lads, right I replaced my passenger side, track rod end, no noises but was pulling to right with left wheel toeing in, I then replaced the driver side track rod end, now going right around corners gives a high screeching sound from passenger side wheel, but when I turn left round corners its ok,I have checked wheel bolts, also made sure air in tyre was ok, any one got any idea why it's doing this, cheers

Sure your tracking isn't just significantly out? Only takes a few degrees to make a big difference. Tyre screech sound or mechanical screech? ________________________________________ Membership expiring soon, get in contact on our new little forum project. |

It's like metal screech, I'm taking it tracking today, I noticed the tyre weight close to the caliper but it never has made this noise before |

Sure the wheel is mated to the hub cleanly and flat, no stones or crap been caught behind?________________________________________ Membership expiring soon, get in contact on our new little forum project. |

I'd get it tracked first and see if that fixes it, plus let them know and they can have a quick look for anything obvious while they're under there. ________________________________________ Membership expiring soon, get in contact on our new little forum project. |

it needs aligning, then see what it's like, it won't drive right anyway until it is aligned properly.Sounds like its still a mile out which it will be if you've had the ends off. ________________________________________ andrew315rawson@live.co.ukMoonstone phase 7 gti6 My Project thread: http://www.306gti6.com/forum/showthread.php?id=119992&page=1 |

Lol I'm back from tracking it drives better I took wheel off n had a look, the weight of the wheel was coming off so I think it had been scrapping, also when turning the wheel as the weight got near the caliper it got harder to turn the wheel, so my prediction was as goin on right hand bends the wright was scrapping with the caliper, as the wheel was toeing in, but when I was turning left, the weight was not hitting calliper so no noise, did see some grease by the boot but I think it might be old as everything seems ok can't see rips, and the alignment lol, well boy oh boy was it out the left wheel was +20 and the right wheel wasn't even in scale, he said as they are out so much, they might self ajust if so bring it back but it seems better as before steering seemed so light going right now it all ok |
