Squealing/Screeching Tire
« on: August 25, 2012, 15:29:27 »
I have recently encountered a very minor issue (maybe its something more, not sure).  When I turn sharp to the right I get a squeal/screech from the front drivers side tire.  I was told this an issue with the camber, but I am not sure.  Does anyone have any idea what this could be and the remedy for it?

Thanks in advance,
Dom

If you keep turning left it won't make any noise. AS long as you keep turning left you will eventually find your way back home.  ;)

  I'd look at air pressure in your tires to begin with.

Is the car pulling one way or the other?

Sounds like you could have a problem with too much toe out.
