Hi All,

My car has started to develope a high pitched grinding and whiring noise
at the front of the car. Can't tell whether its front the wheels or something
else. It comes on at 55km/hr and disappears at 58km/hr. The dealers
took the front left wheel off to have a look at the brakes, everything was ok (at that time I thought it was coming from the left front wheel as I get echos from road side fences of the grinding noise).

Anybody knows whats going on?

Thanks.

Hello,

Mine left hand side wheel i think is doing the same thing, its a squeeky itermittent noise (like squeek-nothing-sqeek-nothing) above 40k only when I accellerate?!?

PS. Your avatar spins me out dude, I thought I was dizzy or some shit! :evil:

That avatar is nothing. Try looking at the full size one. That's even more
crazy. I get headaches just thinking about it. :)

cv joint perhaps does it do it more when you are turning ?

It does it between 55 and 58 km/hr no matter what I'm doing, braking,
accelerating, turning etc etc. It sounds like high pitched metal grinding
noise.

Exactly the same, but mines like noise, 1 sec break, noise, 1 sec break.

Come on a cruise sometime.. We're working out when we're holding the next one soon and we're compare our noises.
