First I Had Pigeons, Now I Have Little Birdies Chirping When Im Slowing Down!

ok

changed my thrust bearing around 2 months ago, but recently only when i am SLOWING down, regardless whether the clutch is engaged or not, there is this increasingly loud bird chirping noise...

when i turn left while slowing down the noise gets louder... so im thinking wheel baring? or something else got to do with the suspension?

cars going to pedders tomorrow for a 28 point check, hopefully they can pick it out if not, could it have anything to do with gearbox even though like i said, whether im rolling or de accelerating it still makes the noise..

thanks in advance

usually a geabox noise will change when changing gear or accellerating/decellerating as the rpms in the gearbox constantly change with the gear/engine mix, if itsa constant noise, look at wheels... are your pads getting low?? could be the screamers on your pads. they start to squeak lightly when they are getting low, and scream when they need replacing. just bend them out of the way if you dont want new pads yet.

i just chased this problem up for a mate with a rex, we were chasing suspension noises, tyre noises (he has semi slicks), rubbing noises, and then realised that it was the lhf wheel bearing, it died as the rex has coilovers and semi slicks and he loves smashing round a bouts, putting alot of weight on the lhf. it would only do it when warm, which i thought as we are having hotter days now, that the lhf semi was becoming ultra grippy or worn enough that it was getting sweaty and slipping.. but nah, it was the wheel bearing.

ill sus out the pads but they should be fine.. replaced them not that long ago... out of what you suggested, its most likely wheel bearing..

are they an easy fix? or it something only a suspension joint will do?

wheel bearings easy to do mate not hard at all. should be able to do yourself.
