Name this sound!!! PLEASE!!!!

ok i got tired of my salad shooters so i talked a guy into letting me borrow his 5 spoke wheels off his 98 V6 (the ones that replaced the salad shooters) with cooper cobras. i am a goodyear man but hey they are free in a way. anyway these tires are the same dimensions as the goodyears on my salad shooters. i hear this wierd sound now. like a chirp literally. the faster i go the worse it gets. it almost sounds like the center caps are lose but they are not. it seems to be clearing the brakes fine and sounds like its only coming from the rear. are these tires directional? what is causing this chirping noise?

are u sure they are not slightly bent at all? that may casue a squeek. I could have knocked some dust or dirt into the caliper when taking off ur old ones and putting the new ones on...your rotor may be slightly tweaked..

[1redZ28]

i dont think they are. he said he never heard anything when he drove on them on his camaro. the rears are drum (maybe that helps). my rotors are new so i'm ok there i think.

Put the car up on jackstands and use a jack to raise the rear end up to where it should be. Then have someone start the car and put it in gear to see if you can hear or see anything.

ok if I can get access to some trustworthy stuff I will.it doesn't seem to always be there. like when I pull out. at first I don't here and then its like all of the sudden I do. oh and thanks guys for the response. i guess it just puzzles me since it didn't do that with salad shooters. (i'm doomed to have salad shooters forever, anyone wanna give me $1400 to get some 10 spokes with tires? lol. or even better send my car into overhaulin) i thought maybe since it only comes from the rear it was fixable but atleast i didn't spend any money.

shoe get knocked around when changing rims?

[1redZ28]

i guess that could be possible now how do i fix that? i know as much about drum brakes as i do transmissions.

[stlunatics2oo3]

the 5 spokes centers prolly need to be sanded down cause there slightly smaller then the inside of a salad shooter i had to do this with my snow flakes i would look into that


just a opinion

thanks for your opinion jeremy. it ended up one of the rims was tweaked. by the time i pulled it off, where it wobbled, only one lug was holding it on where it backed the others off. i gave them back today and am representin the salad shooters again lol.

no problem just be glad you checked before you went on a trip and they fell off
