K9d 108 Report post Posted July 25, 2011 My 156 is squeaking, or I have a family of mice living in it . The squeak is coming form the back and is worse when I corner, left worse than right, and was noticeably worse today after a run back from Bristol. I checked the wheels when I stopped and the drivers side rear seemed hotter than the rest. When it is squeaking I can make it stop by pulling the hand brake on slightly, obviously not an ideal way to drive. I'm guessing pads or wheel bearing.

Smaky 73 Report post Posted September 10, 2011 If she's a-squeakin, then she's a-runnin and that's normally a bonus, but when they are a-runnin and they are not a-sueakin then the upper wishbone buses are either wet or greased correctly. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
