Red_Racing_Rolla Posted November 15, 2009 Report Share Posted November 15, 2009 Hi guys, I have a problem with my 1986 AE82 rolla and I need some assisstance.. The front passengers side wheel has a squeak/rubbing noise coming from it and I don't know what it is.. It happens pretty much the whole time the car is rolling and it is really noticable at low speeds or when cornering. I haven't really had a chance to rip it apart and have a look, and I was wondering if anyone knows what it is?? And is it an easy or hard fix? I also have another issue, PINGING!! :) what could it be?! I have done the timing and it is running premium fuel, what else could it be? The engine is a stock A4-C.. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red_Racing_Rolla Posted November 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2009 if its fwd its most likely a constant velocity joint in the drive shafts Yeah it is Fwd, is that an easy fix? And whats the price tag on it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick E Posted November 16, 2009 Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 Yeah it is Fwd, is that an easy fix? And whats the price tag on it? there is a little bit of mucking about removing the drive shaft cost just a guess about 250 bucks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cuppas Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 if its not your CV, it could be brake squeal, check the condition of your brakes before you go popping your cv out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AE80Rollaguy Posted November 22, 2009 Report Share Posted November 22, 2009 hey guys! i would like to know if AE90 hub assembly is the same as AE93?? i have my ae 90 in my back yard and need to replace the wheel bearings in my AE93, so if i can ill rip out the hubs in the 90 and press new bearings in then swap them for the AE93 hubs.....

AE80Rollaguy Posted November 23, 2009 Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 Well bearing kit part numbers are the same for AE90 all the way to AE93 haha I'm sure they would be the same for all AE9X models Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clubby2084 Posted November 23, 2009 Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 About your Pinging... Had same problem with my AE82. Has the timing belt been replaced lately ?. What about the timing belt tensioner ?. Some folks replace just the timing belt at the regular intervals and neglect the tensioner. The tensioner goes weak allowing some slack in the timing belt. I had the tensioner replaced in my 4A-C and problem solved. No more pinging. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks man And to solve the problem with the front CV, a mate of mine was buying a new car and just gave me his old 1985 rolla sedan so i just stole the whole hub and CV from it and put it in mine. everything running smooth now. Thanks everyone :wink: Rolla club #1! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The carbon crap heats up and starts pre-igniting the air-fuel and you only really notice it when you start pushing the motor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But driving around normal was the problem. So I tried not too as much as possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johno Posted March 20, 2010 Report Share Posted March 20, 2010 This might be a little late to say now but with the squeak/rubbing noise.. My ae82 did it too after the conversion. It was really bad at low speeds and i found it was the flimsy metal backing plate that protects the disk rotors. It was bent in a little and rubbing a bit so just with my hand i bent it back out, problem solved :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
