squeaking noise

[rodgordodger]

hi all my 95 Gq has started squeaking from the fromt right.sounds like wheel bearings could be replaced.is it true GQ's bearings have to be pressed back in??any help would be appreciated

On the front no mate they can just be done by hand. You will need a hammer and drift to replace the cones but its quite an easy job really.

[rodgordodger]

cheers have heard that they are suppossed to be pressed in.but that advice did come from a gu owner so may be the gu that require it

[nissannewby]

GU's are the same.

[rodgordodger]

ok cheers newby

[nissannewby]

The rears may need to be pressed but its not a necessity

[growler2058]

X2 with newby mate no need for a press

You sure its a squeaking sound ?? jack up the offending wheel and holding top and bottom see if you have any movement,
Squeaking isn't a word I'd use for a failing wheel bearing more of a grinding sound IMO

[rodgordodger]

yeah not much of a grinding sound.will check out tomorrow.im hoping it isnt the bearings i suppose sqeauling at times is better way to describe.Thanks to all for the advice given so far.

Hi mate - just as an outside - not your brakes?

Jas

[rodgordodger]

will be checking them as well.Thanks jas

[rodgordodger]

brakes is next on list.checked bearings no excessive play.driving this morning had a clunk then a slight pull to the right but still driveable.sounds like time to pull everything off and have a good look at it.any further info would be appreciated

[lorrieandjas]

Hi mate - sounds like brakes - does it pull the right when on the anchors or all the time?

Jas

[rodgordodger]

will be looking at brakes on weekend hope i find the problem

[lorrieandjas]

Hey mate - process of elimination. Does it happen normally driving? Louder when you brake? Does it pull to one side all the time or only when you brake?

As Jas said sounds like brakes check meat on pads and using a g clamp compress the brake clylinder to check its OK not partially siezed . (About a six pack job)
