Roger Frazee Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 There are four spokes, located together on the left front wheel, that creak loudly when I drive my Overland. Old-timers tell me to drive the car through a creek to tighten up the spokes. Is a good soaking really the best cure for loose spokes or is there a better solution. Or could the creaking noise be an indication of a bigger problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C Carl Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 Roger , you use the words "good" , "better" , and "best" in your question. The best and only solution is to have your wheel(s) re-spoked. A creaking wheel may fail catastrophically with no warning at some point. Neither you , your passengers , nor nearby motorists , want to have anything whatsoever to do with that bloody mess. Next stop : your friendly wheelwright. Would Coker be fairly convenient for you ? I seem to remember they are set up for volume production with state-of-the-art equipment. Wait time can be a significant factor when shopping for a wheelwright. - Carl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Schramm Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 Best is to re-spoke the wheels. PM sent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are currently respoking the 4th set of wheels for me. The current project is my '08 Buick F. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
