Squeaking wheel

Post by Adamskiking » Sun Mar 09, 2014 1:25 am

I,ve just bought my bongo and have noticed that whenever i turn the stealing wheel to the right when moving a loud squeaking sound can be heard, can anyone tell me what this could be? I'm planning a fairly long trip in it this weekend and so need it to be safe and sound.

This turned out to be a wheel hub. Where the past owner had replaced the bearings he had slightly bent the hub which was rubbing. I found a replacement hub on ebay and had it fitted and everythings tickerty boo....for now! :wink:
Thanks for posting though Tay!
