I have a peugeot 307 sw estate 03. im getting a **** noise from the back end. I`ve just put new wheel bearings, brake disks and pads and still getting the noise. what else could it be.if anyone can help. thanks

Wheel bearing brother, does the noise go away when you veer to the left or right? Quiet veering right?( it's the TT wheel bearing), quiet veering left, ( left bearing is culprit

I've got one. If there was a bad bearing its heat could have distorted brake disk alignment with pads, poss worn pads.

If it makes the sound during idle and you have manual transmission, check the clutch plates, pressure plate and related bearings. If it happens when the car is moving, check driveshafts, wheel bearing and brake pads.

Have the car put in the air and a technician can listen to the wheel bearings and decide if that is the problem.

hi friend
The easiest place to find the VIN on your vehicle is right on the lower left corner of your dashboard. You should be able to read the number by looking through your windshield on the driver's side of your car. Check the driver's side door. The VIN might also belocated in the driver's side doorjamb or on the doorpost. I hope these images will help you.

need to check the front wheel bearings.sounds like one or both have gone bad.

Look through the openings in your front wheels and look at the front rotors-are they gouged up? You are probably running metal-to-metal, pads to rotors.
Chances are real good your rotors will have to be replaced along with new pads, but if you catch it early enough you might be able to have them machined, although nowadays that is hardly easy to get done and the savings usually is not as significant as it once was.

Hi the first thing you need to check is the brakes if you can jack the car up and put it on stands you need to take the wheel off and check the brake pads and the disk, its sounds to me like the brake pads have wore right down to the bare metal and this is now cutting into the disk, if this is left to long it can seize the brakes on due to the heat and you wont be able to move the car.

also the brake pad if it is wore down to the metal then this will be cutting into the disk and then this will also need replacing. so go and check the brakes first as this is often the cause of any noise coming from the front wheels as that is the only major moving part.

if how ever the pads are ok and the disk not scored then the next problem you could have is with the wheel bearing but this ls less likely as it is more likely to be the brakes.

you can check the bearing by jacking the car up without undoing the wheel then grab the wheel either side and give it a wiggle and see if you can feel any play if you do then the problem could be either bearing or track rod end, if its the track rod end then this wont cause the noise you hear but it can cause the wheel to wobble.

let me know what you find or if you need further assistance ok

plz rate this solution as i have a whole page of unrated page of unrated posts, thanks

i have a terrible noise when driving my car its gettin worse i have been told it might be the thrus bearing in clutch or the dif bearing in the gearbox how do i know which one it is without paying twice

I has a clicking/knocking noise on one of my 407 (54 plate) front wheels after a change of brake pads. On investigation I found that the bracket to which the caliper hydraulic hose was fixed (at the lower end of the suspension strut) had been bent downward and was catching the CV boot clip. I bent it back up and the noise went. It is possible (if the brake caliper is not supported during pad change) to bend the bracket supporting the hydraulic hose. It could also interfere with the ABS wheel sensor bracket - check. Simply jack-up and support the car on the side with the noise and turn the wheel by hand to see what gives (don't go under the car until it is supported safely)..
