martnmagik 68 Posted September 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2011 it does it when i drive,turn, and go over bumps, it never tops unless im sat stationary in it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Millet 4,497 Posted September 23, 2011 Report Share Posted September 23, 2011 I had it with a Pajero many moon's ago and the faster i drove the louder it became..the problem causing it was one of the anti squeal shim's that tension the brake pad's was slightly touching the edge of the break disc.. so i took the shim out and ground a fraction of the edge of it and the problem was solved..

Millet 4,497 Posted September 23, 2011 Report Share Posted September 23, 2011 (edited) I would try taking the pad's out anyway mate and clean any flaked rust from around the disc's and check that they is no stones stuck any where near the disc's..it's easy to do and wont take too long..worth a try i would say before you look at other option's..

jimlampit 7 Posted September 23, 2011 Report Share Posted September 23, 2011 it could also be your anti roll supports i had a terrano and that did the same thing fixed it for £30 if i remember correctly if you look at the motor from yhe front its a bar with a bush on each end one bolts through the wish bone and the other up higher its worth a look at them first before you dismantle you brakes Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Baghdadnights 150 Posted September 23, 2011 Report Share Posted September 23, 2011 Chances are it's going to be a dry joint on either balljoints track rod end or the antiroll bar links. Try just bouncing the truck from the bumper each side. Easiest way to find which parts failing puncture the joint gaitors with small thin screwdriver then squirt wd40 in through the hole using the straw. Do one at a time then bounce till squeak stops Atb Kev Quote Link to post Share on other sites
