Squeal in rear wheel, advice needed
Written by desert_ratt_... on 6/24/2010 at 03:48 pm

The hub was hot? Can't hurt to pull the rear tire (that will make you love
shaft drive!) and give everything a good cleaning/lube.

Did you check to see if there were any signs of where on the edges of the tire,
where it might rub on the inside of the trunk lining? That was problem with the
'89s, but there may be some random few out there that have similar issues.

When I left I made a couple loops around lot and no noise. Hitting highway still
nothing but at about 100 km.hr I did notice the squeal returned. As I slowed it
would quit but return as I accelerated up past 100. Not a real loud noise but I
could hear it.
