#1: Squeaking front passenger wheel? Author: kit325, Location: LondonPosted: Tue Jun 05, 2012 12:22 pm ---- My 206 front left wheel start to make a loud squeaking noise (only at low speed 10mph -25mph). It passed MOT about 3 weeks agop without any problem.
After driving above 50mph for a few minutes, this annoying sound will go away. However next day when u start driving, u can hear the same squeaking sound.
Anyone know or experienced similar problem? Any advice or help will be appreciated, thz!

#3: Re: Squeaking front passenger wheel? Author: kit325, Location: LondonPosted: Tue Jun 05, 2012 12:34 pm ---- nope! Loud at 5-10mph when coming to a stop. Can't hear any when drive above 30mph, sound disappear even at slow speed when i drive above 50 mph a few minutes.

#6: Re: Squeaking front passenger wheel? Author: R_D_G, Location: HuddersfieldPosted: Wed Jun 06, 2012 5:55 am ---- I had one done about 2 months ago and it was just over £100 for the bearing to be done, some people wanted £200 for it so best to shop around.

Tempted to change it my self unfortunately don't have a press to release the bearing from the hub. Will this more difficult than changing the wishbones?

Just spend 3 hours cleaning the front disk brakes and the suspension, found out that at my rear nearside wheel is not spining smoothly cause tyres actually is taching the inner arch and tyre wall being rub away a bit. I swap the rear tyre to the front and the squaking noise is gone.
