Swap it for the budgie that lives behind my dash! Cannot find it.


The budgie will be the plastic bonnet hinge inserts.

Thankyou will look at them, do you change them or put silicone grease on them?

Well I swapped my wheels around during a brief respite in the monsoon at the weekend. And what a difference that has made! Sawtooth wear was a visible (and now audible) culprit, so many thanks to all for the suggestions and in particular to DavidBMB.

My tyres are still noisy, but so much quieter now! I reckon that 90% of the whine has gone - from my tyres and from my wallet Laughing

I'll keep my ears open and prepare to swap them again in a few thousand miles. No big deal if it stops raining by then....

Now i'm off to shoot that budgie.

Does the noise get better turning 1 way and worse the other?

Good morning all, just joined the forum after a search on this topic. Replaced front ‘discs, pads and bearings yesterday, and I still have the ‘wu wu’s.’ Although truck doesn’t pull to the left now, I still have slight vibration on the wheel at 50 MPH, and the vibration through the pedals / bulkhead, is worse when road bears left, but still there when road bears right? Tyres look fine, starting to think UJ’s? 2011 hard top 90. Thanks in advance 👍🏻
