squeaking while turning right?

catofthewoods · Jan 17, 2011

Hi chaps,

Over the weekend, my G reg 110 pickup has started squeaking when turning right. It doesn't do it all the time, sometimes it's just a "ting" noise sometimes a proper squeak.

Noise seems to be coming from the drivers side wheel - is this something to panic over, or just something to add to the character of the truck?

I really am a novice when it comes to mechanics, trying to learn but struggling!

cheers,
Joe

Power steering pump maybe, possibly need to check if belt is tight enough for starters and then go from there.

Could be a wheel bearing neding taking up.
When you turn the wheel moves slightly in relation to the disc and the pads will squeak.
Something to check, not the definite answer.

You have my vote.

cheers for the replies, I don't think it's the power steering as that is always noisy! It's more of a metallic noise, I shall try to check the wheel bearing tomorrow!

thanks again,
Joe
