Title: BIS has started making strange squeal (audio clip inside) (link inside)
Post by: Fiat126Fan87 on November 07, 2011, 04:43:17 PM

Hello Folks,

About three days I got in my car and pulled away and immediately noticed this very faint squeal coming from the back of my 89' BIS. A few days on and luckily it hasn't got any worse. Only tends to happen when I go into second and go to up to speed, or when I fully engage the break when I stop.

As said, this just started one day, I don't remember anything, a bump or knock or anything which may of caused this. I've attached an audio clip for you to listen to and was wondering what everyone thought.

If anyone has any suggestions or ideas I would be very grateful. Similar if anyone has experienced the same problem then that would be even better.

Thanks in advance!!!

Could it be a wheel bearing?

It could be. What about the alternator bearing? Fan belt need adjusting?

Is the noise there only when the car is moving?
