    05 ssangyong rexton transmission whine after fitting tyres Archived Message

    We don't have much experience with this model and were quite concerned when the customer returned the next day after a full service to complain of a "noise".
    This model is an auto. with permanent four wheel drive. The noise was quite a loud whine that increased with load. We decided it had to be to do with replacing both front tyres.
    After talking to two ssangyong dealers and our tyre supplier (all of which hadn't experienced this problem) we refitted the original front tyres and the noise stopped.
    The transmission must have been 'winding up' and yet the rear tyres good. We have now fitted a full set of tyres. Has anyone else experienced this, as we have never had a problem before.
    Gordon.
