The back tyres on my 2005 Suzuki Swift were badly scrubbed at 20000kms (2011). I was told by the RACQ, suspension companies, tyre companies, that Suzuki had a problem with this model. But when I contacted Suzuki,also the Brisbane dealer, and a local dealer, all three denied there was a problem.
The problem was corrected by a suspension company in 2011.
I am disgusted with Suzuki and their negligence, and their dealers need to tell the truth.
I will never buy another Suzuki vehicle.

Hi Terry,

I have the exact same problem with my 2006 Swift. I’ve had it looked at by 2 different dealers and an inderpendant mechanic. The dealers both told me it was road noise, and the mechanic said it was the rear wheel bearings. So I had both replaced, but only genuine bearings are available. The noise continues, even when I have adults in the back. Have you had any luck with a dianosis?
Cheers Justine

Had new tires 2 mechanic check it out may don’t know were its come from. It only starts at 70/80kls.When the car as a two people in the back you can not hear it.

I have a 2005 Swift which I bought when it was 1 year old. I just loved it. It was lovely and quiet. By the time it was 2 years old I needed new tyres, it only had around 25000 klm on it which I thought was poor mileage for tyres.Anyway I bought 4 new Goodyear tyres. It was at this point co-incidental or not that the car started making a whiring noise when I got up around 60 klm, the noise got louder peaking at around 80 klm/hr, and then diminishing by 100klm. I was told that this was tyre noise and I was just unlucky to have bought noisy tyres ??. Well 2 years on (one month ago) with 60000klm on the clock I just bought another set of 4 tyres Khumo brand, renowned to be a quiet tyre I was told. No such luck. Suspecting a dodgy bearing in the rear right wheel -today I had it replaced willing to try anything to get rid of the noise. This did nothing to fix the noise even though the bearing was no good because it fell apart when it was taken off. The Mechanics have checked the whole car out and can only put the noise down road noise, they do not think it is tyre noise at all. Does anyone else have this wheel whiring noise problem? I just dont understand why it is noisy now, when it wasn’t when I first bought it. Help anyone ?

Hey Jim, i Know it was 2 years ago that you posted but I have always had a bizarre noise that never went away too … a ‘wibble wibble’ sound from the one front wheels since Nov 2005. No amount of servicing, wheel balancing and tyre replacement has ever removed it. So I guess odd noises come standard with the Swift.
