the front of my car does a stupid squeak sound every time the car turns moves up or down and its loud and embarrising. anybody have experiance with fixing it. anything helps its driving me nuts!
My car does the exact same thing (sounds like a pack of wild mice ). Its the upper control arm bushings that are causing the noise and the only fix for it is new rubber bushings and some 90 degree grease fittings. I have not done it on my car yet but I plan on doing it sometime in the future.
pack of wild mice-exactly i drilled holes in my shock tower and replaced two grease fittings and it didnt help much but i'll have to check into the bushings ect.
It's not the upper control arm bushings (usually), more often then not it's the bushing on the spring perch that's bolted to the upper control arm. I think the only way to permanently get rid of the noise would be to go to the ball bearing spring perches. A quick fix is to just spray some PB Blaster on the bushing.
I had "The Squeak" and got rid of it by just overlubing the zerk fittings at the bottom of the shock towers (the ones that are so hard to reach, behind the front wheels). Took a couple of separate tries to get it to go away. I squirted it, drove it a couple days, and squirted it again, and haven't had that sound in the five years since...
I didn't replace any, just filled them up. Fill em, drive a bit, fill em again. After 30 years of likely never being filled, there was quite a bit of squeak in mine when I got it.
...what i found with mine was the grease had dried and was stopping up the passages for the grease... ...Frank...
