Repetitive, rapidly worsening rear wheel grating noise

Post by surreyboy »

sounds like it's coming from the right rear wheel.
are rear wheel bearings an issue with the 95 precidias?

either wheel bearing or brakes....I'd check the brakes first though...

There are no specific issues with wheel bearings on MXs other than the fact that they are wear and tear parts and have ot be replaced from time to time. Have you recently replaced yours?
Jack the car up and spin the wheel. If the grind is in the same spot most every time then check the brakes. If you can move the wheel from top to bottom then it is the bearing.

It was just loose lug nuts.
Good thing I caught it in time - could've killed me, some pedestrians and/or people in other vehicles.
She's running good now.
Superb little car.
Vroom!

Ha Ha I'd like to say I'm laughing at you but I've done that twice,,,in one year. Once on my boat trailer (why is my trailer wheel sloping at a 60deg angle.) Second time on the MX3 (what is that clunking sound when I turn a corner on my MX3). :oops:
First time shame on you second time shame on me. Now I torque all my wheels on, no more "well that feels right" while installing the nuts. 90 ft lbs then re torque in 15 days.

I know you believe that you understand what you think I said but I'm sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.

That's ok, I'd laugh too.
Like I'm sure many did when I said I hooked up the battery wrong.
Go ahead - laugh.
Fill your boots.
I would've.

too bad gas prices are almost twice as high now.
oh well.
nice car.
thanks for the replies - good quick turn-around time on questions in this forum.
