Hey all.
My car (1992 Eunos) made no strange noises prior to the weekend, but I have noticed an annoying squeak at from the front left wheel area at low speeds.
I have recently changed the belts (not cambelt) so it could be one of those slipping, but the noise does not go away when I put my foot on the clutch so I doubt it is that. Also if I rev it in neutral the noise is not present. The squeak frequency reduces as I slow down and is not there when I am stopped.
Last weekend I got new tyres on the Friday and an alignment on the Saturday. They also aligned my steering wheel. I noticed the noise as I was driving home just after the alignment was completed, and the mechanic gave it a small test drive before to check all was OK before he let me drive the car away. I doubt any bolts were left loose from the alignment as the car handles well and there is no steering wheel vibration. I get the squeak when driving in a straight line so it isn't cornering or speed bump related.
I jacked the front up and span each front wheel independently and they did not spin for long before they stopped. Neither squeak.
I am somewhat confident that the noise is coming from the front left wheel - What could it be? Could it be some grit stuck in the brakes? A knackered bush? A knackered bearing that just doesn't like the new suspension setup?
