Greetings,

One for people running Wrangler Duratracs...

I've probably run the WDs on my car for about 5,000 miles. But ... when I turn slightly off the straight-ahead position there is a noise I can only describe as a 'high frequency rasping' from the front of the car. Does anyone else have this?

They are at the correct pressures. The tread is in good nick. The wheel-bearings are fine. Gets louder with increasing speed. Nothing rubbing on the tyres. The car went through its MoT (twice) last week.

Cheers,

Hugh

Alignment? Been running them for 30K miles now and mine are well past their best but never experienced what you have described 2003 BMW M5 - 5 Litres of V8 Optimax Slurping Goodness in Carbon Black

Hmm. Could be. A trip to the local tyre place is now on the list.

Off topic have you still got the door mouldings ???
I did send you a PM

Power-steering...

I set up an audio spectrometry app on my phone and checked at 30, 40 & 50 mph. Same frequency at different speeds, therefore nothing to do with the tyres. P/S reservoir is vibrating like mad.

(The noise is the bright bit in the screenshot below, coming and going as I turn the wheel)

Ooh, fancy gadget time!

Name of the app please? Looks like something that might be useful to have. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

It's "Spectroid" (Android). Hours of entertainment for all the family!
