Hi all, my nearside tyre's squeeling like mad everytime I take a corner, worse on right hand turns and mass under steer.
Have changed bottom wishbones both sides, steering idler and track rod end on near side, due to pull when braking. Had the traking done and swaped the wheels round.
Feels Ok on the straight.
Is Vauxhall Part Number: 9195731 the correct one for a 2.0 ? and any other suggestions ?
Cheers

For what :question If you mean the steering idler, yes it is. As for the tyre squealing, if you have swapped the wheels and still get the squealing i`s not going to be the tyre. Have you checked front N/S bearing. :question
-
9195731 is a steering idler arm, and they are the same throughout the range.
-
I have Winter tyres on, and they squeal more than any others.
-
Have you the same make and model tyres on the 4 road wheels
-
Squealing issue aside for a minute, have you had the camber set correctly since changing wishbones?
Tracking on its own is a waist of time. Needs full geometry set up.
See how it is once set correctly. :-)
What tyres are they exactly?
-
Hi how do you set the camber ?

Hi how do you set the camber ?
Tony at Wheels in Motion is the man - but it's a fair old drive from Hartlepool if it's understeering.
-
i have the same problem but only on different types of tarmack sometimes it does some time it does not strange ehh :y
-
Is there anyway of setting it up myself ? have a engineering shop at work so prob can get of any measurment tools.
Whats adjusted to get it correct ?
If its got to be a garage job any suggestions for somewhere near hartlepool.
Cheers

Mine dose that found out the tyre has a default in it, had it checked at local and said it was nothing wrong, steering was fine and traking etc was ok.
-

0191 5811821 :y

Hi, hows the camber adjusted ?

Hi, hows the camber adjusted ?
I wouls get a garage to do it as you could make it worse, should not cost more than £30 :y

Had the camber checked and its ok, but the tracking was out, am going back to the original place to get a refund.
Problem now is back to the original one, press the brakes and the car goes left, steering goes right !!
Changed: bottom wish arms (both), idler arm, off side brake caliper, nearside track rod end.
Had it on a rolling road and brakes ballanced altough the pull only seams to show when braking hard, think it maybe the nearside caliper (as its the only thing left to change !)
Anbody out there got one to sell ? :-X

Hi got a caliper from ebay, but still after a silver back bumper !
-
When you say you had the camber checked and it was ''ok'' did the garage say that it was in the green for the settings? if so then the garage you took it to is using settings for the car that were applicable to it when it was new, not after many thousands of miles. When new the camber setting is 1"45min of camber , but should be set to compensate for spring settling and wear, so the new setting should be n the reigon of 1"10min of camber. Call Tony at WIM and he might be able to recommend so one up in the NE who can set it up properly.
