as title really, has anyone come across this? my s1 v8 has p5 rostyle wheels fitted and i like the look of them, but when setting off something is squeaking in time with the wheels going round.i've had a good look at the bushes and replaced the driveshsft uj's(these was worn anyway) even spraying the bushes with a little wd40 the noise remains.

annoyingly although the noise was there on a test drive when i parked up,got out and pushed the car i couldn't get it to make the noise :?

thanks craig
 
Craig, what size tyres are you using? I wonder if your rear arches need relieving to stop 15" dia tyres rubbing.

My V8 had P5 Rostyles and I was well used to squealing tyres on the bends.

The noise went away when I replaced the wheels with SD1 alloys.
 
thanks for the thoughts.i've looked at the tyre sizes- 185/55/15 and there seems plenty of clearance, not going quick enough to make the tyres squeal round the corners and thought about the pads but it still squeaks when the brakes are lightly on so i dont think its them.

will try fitting the spare tommorow see if it makes any difference
