Rubbery squeak after driving
cloudy - 26/4/09 at 10:24 PM

My rear left wheel bearing (disc sierra) has a rubbery squeak when you push the car around after a drive. It's much like a polybush squeak but quieter - I would guess its the oil seal.

Hub does not get hot, is it worth stripping down? What could cause this?

id probably say that as long as everything is running okay, its probably not worth it...just keep an eye on it and see if it gets worse.

I like your thinking

I would still say it's a polybush squeak!

If it gets worse when it's warm - it most certainly will be...

It's not a bush, it's the wheel bearing - I was just trying to describe the squeak!

You sure it's not the pads touching the disk from e.g. a sticky caliper?

Yup

Is it your trainers squeeking on the garage floor with the effort of pushing the car....?
