weird squeaking sound

kz34wa · 04-28-2014, 08:29 PM

Just recently my car started making this weird squeaking sound coming from the front of the car.

I just had my car serviced but they did not find the problem that was causing the sound.

when ever i go over a small bump on the road or decelerating the sound appears.

Would anyone know what is causing this squeaking sound?

The mechanic said that he greased up everything that is needed to be greased.

The suspension mods i have are eibach lowering springs,20mm spacers and SPC rear camber arms.

I'm guessing the front springs might be loose or installed incorrectly?

The same thing happened to me but in a different scenario. The brakes just started squealing or producing a sound as if some metal was grinding against something.

It began when I was exiting a junction and it only stopped when, I brought the car to a complete halt, then I drove off and the sound disappeared as mysteriously as it came.

Just had the fluids changed and bled for the brake less than 2 weeks ago. It is a 2010
RHD with no changes other than H&R 25mm spacers all around which had been installed 6 months back.

So need help in finding the source and cure for the noise. Thank you

If it's only a single squeak when the suspension travels, then it could be a suspension bushing. A little graphite usually does the trick.

If it's a constant squeak, then I have no idea.

Check the dust shield - it may be making contact with the rotor.

Check for trash in the caliper.

Check pads/rotors.

If the sound stopped when you stopped and is now gone for good, my guess is you had a pebble stuck in the brakes that dislodged when you stopped.

how about pushing your car down on the corner that's squeaking. can you generate the noise? if so, then it's definitely your steering wheel.

jokes aside, southpark's suggestion above sounds good.

The sound continues to annoy me.

I have checked my front brakes and they seem to be fine.
It squeaks whenever i go over an uneven road.

I have checked all the bolts and sway bars and they seem to not be the problem.

maybe you need to grease the bushings on the sways

The first time I installed my swifts I had a similar squeaking noise. I found out that I had twisted my shock so slightly that each time it moved it rubbed the rubber bushing. You may want to check your shocks pivot point (Lol not sure on the correct term).
