so much going wrong

breckert · 07-16-2009, 11:23 PM

ok so my 96 bravada which is completely stock has been really, really, really acting up lately. i dont know if all the problems i am about to list are related or just pure coincidents. first off ive noticed that when accelerating from a stop i get a squeak, squeak, squeak which sounds like rubber on rubber. it only does this for 1 to 2 seconds. secondly I have noticed that when i go to stop it sounds like a metal on metal high pitched scrapping. thirdly when i do stop i get a squeaking noise. and then when i tried to turn the wheel while i was stoped i got a high pitched, groaning/screeching noise from the front wheels. this only happened for a little bit though and went away after about ten minutes. i am flabergasted and have no idea.i have checked all the brakes and the rear are good and so is are the front. thanks in advance and reply soon because its scarring the crap out of me.

the squeek squeek squeek is the sound of a u-joint about to let go. the ither noise sounds like a wheel bearing. does it make a popping sound when you crank the wheel and accelerate?

well the u joint would explain it bc i just changed the front u joint not to long ago. so at least i dont have to worry about that. but as for a wheel bearing i jacked up the car and tried to move it but it didnt budge. also do you know about what all my options are if an ac compresser is about to go. thanx

pay a shop 20 bucks to look over your truck... most shops will do it for free, but money always gets the best results

most monro mufflers or chain place will look it over for free. when they are done say you gotta take the estimate to your dad or whoever so they can look it over then you gotta save some money. lol. that way you dont seem like a dick. dont say any thing to lead on that you are gonna do it your self or know anything about cars.
