squeaking front end

[shamozzle]

I've got a pretty loud squeak coming from the front left of my r33 gtst. Anyone got any ideas as to what it could be, wheel bearing perhaps? It sounds like metal on metal alot like the sound the aluminium tray on my dads ute makes actually. It's louder when I'm going slow.

Any help would be awesome. Cheers

i had a sqeeking noise on the front left of my 33 a while ago (got me so paranoid i thought it was from the middle of the car as well). Got it checked out and everything was fine, and the noise even went away just before i got it checked.

Then it came back and went away, my mechanic said it was the shock absorber and stated that the majority of shocks on the skylines are usually worn out if they are still factory items when they come out here.

So it could just be you shock like it was on mine.

Is it a constantly light squeel that is not too loud but just enough to annoy the crap out of you?

If so I've got one on my right wheel.

I've had the wheel bearing done on that wheel quite some time ago, its not the wheel bearing. I'm thinking something to do with the brakes?!?

Wheel bearings tend to have more of a grind brup brup brup brup type sound.

It's not constant, just every 5-10 seconds while you're driving. But yep, it's definitely loud enough to well and truly annoy the crap outta me, got me kinda worried too.

I had an annoying squeak in the front end. actaully had it checked over, turns out to simply b ethe bonnet catch ratling around and making a noise. Try grease it up, see if makes any difference..

Nice job hussler, problem solved.

Cheers mate

No problem, gld to be of assistance, so much for all the shock absorber theories..... Its amazing how some things can really be something simple hay.....and yes, the rattle was very annoying. I managed to find it in only a week or so though.

i have this but it is more a squeling then rattling. can't be the bonnet catch.
