    Re: Rs turbo track car

    Jason, have you fitted new rear wheel bearings?. Since fitting my rear disc conversion both squeak between 0-20mph, especially the left one. I have repacked them aswell but a mile down the road and they start squeaking again. Unless its the pads. I have mintex 1144s both front and rear and have since found out and then told that they squeal like mad. I wish I had known before
