Tire Squeek Help - Mazda 6 Forums : Mazda 6 / Mazda Atenza Forum

Crzyguy22 · 09-20-2006, 09:39 PM

For the past month on and off i have been noticing hat if i take a turn fast i will hear a tire squeek, and then for the next mile or so i will continue to hear this squeek. The only way to stop it for a little bit is to tap on the brakes. It sounds likea piece of metal is going around and scratching something. NOthing looks out of the ordinary but i ahve no experience with tires so all i see is nothing sticking out. Any idea wat this is. Since its not constant and radomn im not able to show someone with more experience like my dad. need help

Although most tires will squeal when pushed to the limit, they won't continue to make noise while going in a straight line (certainly nothing you'd describe as a squeak). What you're describing could be brake related (a loose or out-of-adjustment pad) or perhaps the power steering pump, or a belt.

I thought my tires were sqeaking too, found out it was the belt, wd-40 fixed that, but yea, check on the brakes.
