smudgethecook Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 Hello I am a new and proud owner of a TA 2008 G Edition which I have just imported into Jersey. I bought the vehicle in the UK in July this year. I have noticed an intermittent squeak (high pitched, possibly metallic) which I detect to be coming from behind the driver at the rear of the vehicle. It sometimes squeaks over uneven terrain but then surprises me sometimes when it doesn't. I am not a mechanic so all thoughts of ideas in my head.... Wheel bearings, Axle, suspension.. no idea.... Anyone out there had a similar experience with theirs? Many thanks Greg M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rojie Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 Hello Greg, I think rear axle bushes are quite common problem on newly imported Alphies. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starider Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 Dry bushes will often cause squeaks,try spraying the bushes with some water from a spray bottle and see if the noise disappears. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starider Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 Hi Rojie, thank you for enquiring about my wife, she had an op a couple of weeks ago to remove 2 stones on the stump of her Bile duct stub[had her Gall Bladder removed years ago]. She is progressing really well and hopes to re-start her on-line business this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
