FiftyOne Bronze Donating Members 1,145 Member For: 11y 5m 22d Gender: Male Posted 16/05/17 01:48 AM Share Posted 16/05/17 01:48 AM I've had a slight squeak from the axle on the ute for a little while, after replacing the pads its fairly bad (particually when cold) The new pads are mostly bedded in now, however they're noisy for a few moments until they gain a bit of heat. The other noise sounds like rubbing tin or something similar. I've checked around the dust cover/stone guard behind the rotor and I can't see any obvious signs of wear or damage, noise only seems to be at lower speeds when turning. Anyone suggest a place to start with this? Am I right thinking it could be movement in the bearings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck a dial guage on the disc if you have one with the wheel nuts on. If it's out remove the disc and put the Dial gauge on the axle face. That will tell you if you have a bent disc or axle. If you don't have a dial gauge your can put it on stands and take the wheels off and let it run in first gear. Your will be able to see the caliper sliding if you have something bent/wornHad any axle tramp lately? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rarely push anything hard, that said I know the previous owners weren't the kindest people to it, maybe I've given it a final blow somewhere along the line. I'll try to stick it in the shed over the weekend and have another look, Thanks Bamk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine tramped at the drags one time and that was it. Here's one I prepared earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they arnt cracked they can be straightend at a engine machine shop. I paid $90 to have 2 straightend. One of mine was out 3mm on the face. Several ton of force in a press and now straight as an arrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw the brake shoes in that video and instantly thought it sounds like the shoes rubbing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steveor New Member 15 Member For: 7y 8m 16d Posted 19/05/17 03:02 AM Share Posted 19/05/17 03:02 AM Mine does the same....light squeal noise when turning with fair amount of lock at low speed. I've been thinking axle bearings. Wouldn't a bent axle give the same noise all the time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine did it all the time but was louder when hot at low speeds and especially when turning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try to figure out what the next steps are going to be now (didn't have a gauge but this neat trick doubles the error and it's maybe 1.5mm, I don't know what that measurement is in old school anvil-forges) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
