This is normal or what?

Hi all TN members ,


After changing my springs and my struts i've noticed that now during moderate turning the tyres makes screeching noises.
IS this normal or what??


Cheers,
Leasaunce

Um, are you positive that you installed the correct springs? Because if they were meant for a 4cyl, and you have a v6, its possible that the extra weight is dropping the car a little more, and you're getting 2 coils rubbing.

Eh... ebay is... when it comes to a lot of parts hahaha.

Check under your fender... look to see if any coils are touching. If they are, then the springs aren't supposed to be on that car. I highly doubt that it has anything to do with your tire tread...

hahaha they're expensive to convert. i cant believe my parents used to have the 1994 Pajero and the suspension were adjustable to 3 mode, HARD (Sport), Medium, SOFT (Luxury ride!!)

DId you have the alignment checked after the springs were done. SOmetimes alignment being off can cause tires to squeal during turns. IT could just be time to get tires though you said they were pretty worn right.

well if the tires are shot on it anyway you can probably wait til you get new ones. But I would definitely have it done when you have the new tires put on. If not you may end up needing new ones again a lot sooner than you want to. I am not saying that this will for sure cause the squealing to stop but it could very well help. JUst the fact that you took everything apart to replace the springs can cause the alignment to get out of whack slightly. That is why they recommend having an alignment anytime a suspension or steering part is replaced.
