Hey Everyone,

We are in Alice Springs at the moment, on the road full time, and have a dry seal/squeeling noise from the front end of the cruiser. Its a 10 model with 16000 on the clock.

I have had in to Toyota after driving from Mt Isa to here, very wet and a few flooded road crossings, and after a week and a half pulled apart the LHS and RHS hubs and replaced all the seals. Problem fixed.

Just come back from doing the rock, Kings canyon etc and the squeel is back. We did some extremely shallow crossings today, about 10 inches. Seems as though when ever I do a little water work the squeel appears and stays. It's not engine related as the noise is not evident when stationary, only when moving. The noise is loud enough to hear when the windows are down and dissapears when slowing for a roundabout or intersection.

Any ideas or experiences?

This has cost a small fortune in accommodation waiting for Toyota to repair. Should I take it back to them? or go up the road to Katherine or Darwin? I hear that Peter Kittels here in Alice has not got the best reputation.

Feedback appreciated. Thanks
