Squeeking Noise!!! HELP!!

[Neaty]

Hello all

in the last couple of days a squeeking noise has developed from the offside wheel arch sort of area, i think its the drive shaft boot rubbing against the anti-roll bar! Why is this doing this??, the car has been lowered 55mm, does anyone know how to stop this, can you get smaller drive shaft boots? It is driving me mad! has anyone else had this problem

A little mouse has moved in, and is living on top of the wishbone?

  

sorry!

ha ha, u clown, just as i was getting my hopes up as someone has replied and might have a solution and all i get is sarcasm!! ha ha!!

make sure its not the wheel rubbing the archs, i got a 60mm drop and its standard boot on it cause i had one replaced and i think the last owner may have done the other one as it was brand new.

i would smear abit of oil on the suspect areas and see if the noise goes away.

Oil on rubber is not reccomended but i do it anyway

you sure your wheel bearing is not on the way out?? 

[Neaty]

no its not wheel bearing its a rubber squeeking noise,

it has actually stopped momenterilly but now i have said that it'll prb start up again on my way home from work!
 i had a look behindthe wheel tho and couldnt see naything that is close enough for it to rub against (thats on the hub end) what is in close proximity at the end that meets the gearbox? could be rubbing at that end!

[Agreeable Slick]

only thing that is close to the gearbox is the other end of the driveshaft and a rubber boot on that bit. Cannot think what it making the squeaking sound though, as if the boot was rubbing on it, it would have come off by now. They are not amazingly strong.

one drive shaft is knocking (near side) and the ohter side is squeeking, not a great driveshaft situation i have really is it!

I would advise just to drop the shafts off the diff and see if you can move that around, it might be a case that the diff bearings have gone which would account for both of them moving around. I had the same problem, fortunately i wanted to swap to a 8v box, so came at the right time for me.
