King sunnies causing squeal ?

Postby vegas_ on Sat, 16 Jan 2016 6:14 +0000

hey guys, Anyone have problem with squealing brakes (or wheels)? I changed my wheels and rims to king sunnies about a month ago, and after i've been driving for an hour or so, the rear drums really start to squeal when i put my foot on the pedal and they're event worse when i'm carrying a load.

I've searched on the forum but havent found any luck.. but i read that the hub doesn't sit correctly with in the wheel so the wheel is being supported by the studs, which is causing the problem ?

I've changed my front and rear pads with no luck, and i've gotten rid of my stock rims if anyone could help me i would really appreciate it, as it's driving me insane !

Does your ute have a rear proportioning valve? Dont knkw how but maybe the damaged the valve arm and ya rear brakes r riding? Carrying a load would amplify it.

i don't usually have too much weight in the back, but the squealing is still happening even with just me in the car.. seems to happen when the brakes are hot :?

That's what I'm saying, maybe they damaged the valve or something and the rears r riding and heating up.

Yourve changed from hubcentric wheels to lug centric wheels, Each has its pros and cons
See if you can get hubcentric spacers
farting is alot like jxxxxxg off. both provide instant gratification, but neither is a long term solution to the actual problem......................

Could this be what's causing the squeal ?

It's been posted on here before and I remember see it only last week, when going back to stock wheels it went away,
I know my 16" (possible King) wheels are lug centric, but they also a snug fit to my hubs (1991mdl)
