Noise after tyre change

cathy01

I got a new tyre and the guy put one from the back to the front.
This was about a week ago and today the car made a funny noise and vibrated ?
Would it be the tyres needing to be put in line?
I trust the mechanic 100%%%
and he said to bring the car back up to him.But I just want to post here for peace of mine. When it first happened, I didn't know what it was so stopped the car, hit my hazzered lights. Then moved off slowly. Guy in a truck beeped at me I nearly sh*& myself altogether. Baby in the back thought it was great fun. Its a 02 Micra if that makes any difference.
THANKS

If the car was fine from the time you got the tyre until now then its not going to be anything to do with balancing or alignment. Is the vibration permanent now?

What's the relevance of the truck beeping though, was he beeping because there was something visibly wrong with your car or did you pull out in front of him?

Make sure the wheel nuts are tight... CHECK THEM NOW

No the vibrating/Noise has only happened 3 times. Today I was in 4th gear ? It seemed to be coming from the left, but it only lasts a couple of seconds then gone. The truck driver was beeping me because he was impatient, or because his car was bigger then mine.:P

Same happened me a couple of weeks ago and when i checked the wheel nuts were loose

Oh no ,maybe that's unfair of me.
There was nothing visible. I stopped about 1 min up the road and had a look. Nothing. Thanks for the help.

Where did you stop and put your hazards on? The middle of the road? :eek:

Jannneeeeeeey mach, that's what I'm afraid of. OMG , would my wheel fall of when I'm driving. Oh God. Ill bring it back to the garage tomorrow.

Just thought Id show off my handy work. This is what happened when my friend tried to open the boot , she didn't know she needed a key, the whole thing came off. But I fixed it myself and saved a small fortune.
I'm sorry, I don't do Nixers.:p

No, well sort of. I was coming around a corner, cars where parked on the left side of the road and I had to be sort of in the middle of the road but had to stop to let other cars down the road ,if you know what I mean. So I was in second gear moving slowly when the noise came first.

Just told the hubbie about the loose nut, and he's going to look and make sure they are ok tomorrow so I can drive it to the Garage.
Thanks all, I would have just got in and driven it. So fair play to yous all. XXXXXXXX
