Rubbing/squealing noise coming from front wheels of Renault Clio.?

Question

Apparent when turning. Probably more so on left hand turn .Checked offside wheel and slight movement when pushed /pulled. Is it wheel bearings?
If so is it straight forward /simple DIY job?
Any advice appreciated.

Answer 1

Check the brake lining as you may be hearing the warning indicators.

Answer 2

Sounds like a wheel bearing to me man. the looseness is probably allowing the brake disc to rub against the brake caliper support n that could be your noise. jack up the car n rock the wheel from top to bottom, there should be only a couple of millimetres of play. its possible to do the job yourself but u'll probably have to open some bolts that colud affect the wheel allignment so it'd be easier to get it done at your local garage, ok!?

Answer 3

Wheel bearings tend to rumble, rather than squeal when worn. Could be something trapped between brake pad & disc, or maybe power steering belt slipping. Take it somewhere like Quik-Fit & they'll do a free check.

Answer 4

Possibly need new brake pads
Tirod ends could be shot ( hear a high pitch rubbing noise when turning?) Or you need new wheel bearings
May be a dry strut mount also

Answer 5

Assuming it is the wheel bearings its not the sort of job you want to tackle at home. Take it to a garage...

Answer 6

sounds more like tracking is out to me have them tracked first, and no changing a wheel bearing is not a job for an amateur , not that it can not be done although you will need specialist equipment , its the fact if not done correctly can be dangerous

Answer 7

that's a wheel bearing. while it gets heat the grease packed around it gets thinner for this reason permitting the worn bearing to squeak and grind additionally the bearing is under extra stress while the steerage is became so as that expalins the reality it basically does it then
