there is a horrible "sqeaking" noise comming from my front end. i dont know what it is but i was wondering if someone could help me. is there a specific bushing or other noted problem i should be looking for? or am i just gonna have to just kinda "poke and hope" at it until its fixed. TIA

 

anyone

 

bump

 

did u install springs recently?

 

nope, all i need to know is what im getting into if i decide to do this myself. i may just leave it and elt the car go to hell. its in rough shape anyways.

 

First, can you describe specifically when the noise occurs? Turning, stopping, starting, slow, cruising?

If you put the car up on jack stands, and one-by-one use a jack to compress each strut, you should be able to see if one of the bushings is going sideways off its track or if the collar is coming out of the rubber.

 

you don't have urethane bushings, do you?

because sometimes they squeak if they're not greased well.

 

no i dont have urethane bushings. the noise mostly occurs when i turn my wheel.

 

sounds like the same problems I had with both my Lower Ball Joints..
I had lots of funky sounds at differing times...
ESPECIALLY when turning.

 

did you find a solution to the problem? what was it?
