Wheel Squeak

[Blue84]

Hi All,

My Yaris Blue has now done 13,000 miles and all is fine except it appears that the front driverside wheel is squeaking..it's worst at around the 25-30mph mark when the wheel is turned at a left angle..it's not just a little squeak, it lasts for around 3-4 seconds and you can hear it above music - also my Passengers can hear it too & it's getting annoying now. The tyre pressures are checked every week (well sometimes every two weeks when I forget). Any idea what is causing it? How can it be sorted? We have a stupid amount of speedbumps around here which I can't avoid so could they have contributed to it? My previous 1.0l T3 had a squeak too which turned out to be the brake 'binding' against the wheel (also was the front offside one too), MrT sorted this under warranty.

Also had to get a new wing mirror this week as on Monday some idiot came too far over on our side of the road when they were passing a parked car, clipped the offside wing mirror, forced the whole thing towards the window, the mirror fell out and was all cracked and broken but the casing doesn't have a mark on it. Got a replacement for £6 ish out of Halfords.

Thanks,

T

Wheel bearing? I remember when mine went on the Matiz, the racket was awful!

I dont think you can get them done under warranty though, I think they're classed as wear and tear items.... it cost me about £60 from memory from Daewoo, so I'm not sure how much Toyota would charge....

Probably best just to take it to them anyway for a proper diagnosis....
