Stu1983 Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Hi Guys, For a while now, I've heard some odd noises from the O/S/R Wheel. Started as a faint 'whoosh' noise but on longer journeys (and more recently) it's more of a squeak or squeal. It stops if I brake and isn't always constant. Seems to do it more when stopping or pulling away. I jacked up the Car this afternoon to have a quick look around (I'm no mechanic but thought I'd might be able to clock something). When I jacked the offending side of the Car up, I had the handbrake on and I could spin the wheel around and around easily. I jacked up the other side, handbrake on and couldn't move the wheel at all. Any ideas what this is? Guessing, from the fact I can spin the wheel it's handbrake related? Cheers.

Bentley1066 Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Sounds like the cable could have snapped or you have a cylinder issue but the brake should work on booth sides when applied. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu1983 Posted June 29, 2014 Author Share Posted June 29, 2014 I couldn't take the wheel off today, couldn't find the sodding locking wheel nut. I've read that the cable can seize etc... so I am hoping a liberal squirt of WD40 may free it up again (if it is that). If not, it's back down the garage for the 2nd time in 2 weeks :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bentley1066 Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 If it's not coming on at all it could have snapped but let's just hope some WD40 does the job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
