Odd Squeak

[emm]

Hi All,

Hopefully you can help or point me in the right direction.

On full left lock the car has a squeak but only when it's moving. However if you turn the wheel a little bit it goes away.

Also on full right lock there is no squeak.

any ideas?

Could be that one of your lock stop nylon pads has worn away, it's fixed to the wishbone, if one side has gone then you will get metal on metal contact on full lock in one direction.

Cheers, could i ask what the nylon stop lock looks like and where it is located?

I forgot to say i have an 850

Thanks,

i presume that if this has come off i'm going to need a new wishbone?

you could put up with the squeaking

I already have that from the wife, and not in the good way.

you can replace them - they are riveted on and we keep them in stock now.

they should be greased to prevent excess noise and friction when turning , so if you're lucky it might just be this.
