Discs squeaking...

Post by Merlin »

My '67 bug with stock '67 discs, and Golf II/III disc kits at the rear starts squeaking when I make a sharp turn.

I haven't had a chance to find an empty lot to test it out fully yet, but it definately sets off when I make sharp left turns.

What are the possible causes and solutions?

All four corners are working correctly, and applying equal load both sides as confirmed by my RWC last week.

1.4 on the front, and 1.7 on the back if I recall correctly.

That's very helpful Eben - not. ;)

I'll take those @$^*ing wheels off again when I get a chance...I had 'em off far too often sorting out !@$# for the RWC last week. :/
