Left hand corners

[Graham Sewell]

I have found that something in the suspension/brakes is 'chirping' when going round left hand corners. The reason I have added brakes to this comment is that it also apppears when braking firmly.

 

I have done a basic spanner check and also adjusted the front hub bearings to have no play - so any advice would be welcome.

 

Cheers,

 

Graham

- Binding brake pad or deteriorated pad

- Warped disc

- Grit or dust

All the usuals I know, but where do you start looking?

Do you have cycle wings ?. These can touch the tyres under braking and cornering if not positioned correctly. They usually made a nice chirping sound. Mine used to do it all the time.

Graham,

 

If the tyre walls are close to the stays the two can touch as the carass distorts in corners - particularly on radials.

 

In a left corner it will be the right front touching.

Is that my cue?

 

Get flared wings and the problem is solved!!!

 

Ok, I'll go back to sleep now.

Graham, I think I had something similar to what you describe on my DeDion car last year. Mr Unwin advised a re-shim of the front A-frame bushes, the ones on the chassis. A slim one each side fixed it for me...
