Sounds like a wheel bearing. --- On Thu, 7/2/09, B Feddish <bfeddish@NETREACH.NET> wrote: From: B Feddish <bfeddish@NETREACH.NET> Subject: Help! Problems on the road. To: vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM Date: Thursday, July 2, 2009, 1:09 PM My 83.5 has developed some type of squeak sound from the rear. It happens only when I am accelerating and more pronounced on a right turn than a left. It's pulsating sounding like a brake squeak but only happens when the engine is accelerating or moving at speed. It stops the moment I decelerate. I am 220 miles from home and in Kent, CT at the moment. Ed gave me the name of a mechanic and I called him be he will only be in for a little while tomorrow morning. Possibly I can take it there and he can have a look. It's about 20 miles from here. In the meantime, is there something I can look at when I get to my campsite about 10 miles from here? Thanks for any suggestions you have. If you have any immediate answsers or ideas you can call my cell at 610 299 4288. Otherwise please reply to this post. Thanks, Bryan |
