|
|
Had the rear offside wheel off Today to get the tyre resealed and a new valve fitted! Don't know if it's related but I've now got a noise like something dangling off the car and jangling about but only at very low speed, sounds like a tin can been dragged along, or wind chimes clanking about. Have been underneath but can't see owt loose....? Any ideas?
Cheers

Have you accidentally caught the brake back plate and pushed it so the disc is rubbing on it? |

Jack it up and see if you can create the sound by manually spinning the wheels - starting with the one that was changed. (Making sure the vehicle is chocked as you'll need to release the handbrake).
I had brake a pad wear indicator touching a brake disk a while back, and that makes a sound similar to the one you describe. |

Hi Pete I'm gunna have a look again in the morning, it's not there all the time and isn't really a rubbing or grinding noise, and it's only noticeable at real low speed like 5/10 mph...! Just mad that it only started today after the trip to tyre place!
Also do you know an Indi where to buy new wheel studs and nuts apart from Mitsubishi?
Cheers

Cheers Simon, will have a go tomorrow, it must be related to what the tyre place did today as it never happened before I took it...!
Thanks

Thanks Pete.. Once again...!👍🏻
Touch wood I think I've found the noise and fixed it, the floppy bit of wheel arch liner was dangling down flopping about in the front pass wheel well, fastened it back up and the noise has not comeback.! Fingers crossed that's it..?

Yes I think that was the clanking noise, been home to my mums in Leeds and no more noise...! But then.....haha I broke summat else, going up a little hill I noticed the EML light come on and stayed on all the way home! Lost all boost and had to come off the motorway as I was getting in the way Of wagons, made it back to my local garage who stuck the code reader on and it came up Code 49 - Over boost. They cleared it and lights not come back on.... Any ideas, pipe,sensor..?
And.... Ordered a few service bits and some new studs and nuts from Milners so thanks for that
