HELP squeaking noise

[tazwold]

I drove my car today and every time i turn right i heard this weird noise like rubber on rubber squeaking sorta noise only when i turn right and when its a hard right more i can feel it in the steering wheel too like its coming from the tyre its very scary like something about to fall off O_o any suggestions i havent had it checked yet...

does it happen if you turn the steering while the car is stationary?

[tazwold]

yes and only on the right it comes and go's now i havent got the foggest clue wat it is.

It might be the rubber boot that is split and lost it grease. It's just behind the wheel. They normally last about 100,000km before they spilt.

sounds like a dried out CV joint to me.

[tazwold]

what would that involve to get fixed ? its coming and going right now its never always there

[The Sentinel]

It depends how long it's been dried out for. Sometime repacking the joint is enough, but if it has been running dry for a while, you will need a replacement joint.

Usually the best option is to buy a reconditioned CV shaft with the joint on it. If you get a reconditioned one, you're looking at around $500 including labour. It's a fair bit of work to fit it as the drive shaft has to come out.

Best to get the problem checked by a mechanic first though as it could be something else. Hard to diagnose over the internet!
