MYSTERY SQUEEK in vyssute

[DuffMan]

Ive had the ute for about 7 months now and Quite often notice a squeek coming from the rear of the car when i turn a corner or set off from a standstill. it was not apparent when i first bought the car however i had the same problem with my last car, a vu s pac. suspect maybe diff or suspention but no real idea.

any thoughts?

check your spare wheel is extra tight.:)

hey mate had the same problem in my vz ute it was the spare tyre. just tighten it up

[steane]

Same here but my last two utes both had stuffed ratchets in the wind-up mechanism for the spare tyre...so tighten it carefully.

I had my ratchet replaced under warrenty.

Wow. I think this was the first thread I ever posted.

I found that the squeeking was exactly what everyone said it was. I tightened up the spare and the sound was gone.

I also had a rattle coming from the rear that was a stuffed shock absorber.

As for your car, the metal on metal sound may well be the sound of the spare tyre's sidewall rubbing underneath the tray. Don't see why it would get louder after a long drive though.

Ill give the spear wheel a go and see wat happens i hope it is as simple as that .. i do know the whinch for the spear wheel is a dit on thestuffed side some thimes it dose up no matter wat way you tern it so it may vevy well be it ...

I got to say i had a noise in the cab for about 15 months a bam rattle niose comming from the passnger seat or door tryed every thing just about riped the hole thing apart with no luck ... for the best part i fixed it by terning up the tunes ... one day i ternd to the gf and got her to try and find it ... she gets it strat away .. center console ..................... the DAM COINS in the little holder rattiling around !!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Anyways ill keep ya posted ...

10 years of shift work and double shifts you just get used to it but thats life running your own wholesale and trucking bis ... wouldn't be so bad if i could get good workers but with the mines and big bis offering so much cash to attract workers how dose the small guy compete, he just doesn't so you end up working your self into the ground ...
