Squeaky front end?

JWC111985 · 03-30-2005, 08:16 PM

Okay, I've noticed lately that my front/left side squeaks if I'm driving very slowly, like just moving around the driveway. I'm guessing it's like in the wheel cause when rolling when it comes to a full rotation it'll make the squeak noise over and over again. Also, it'll do it when I lightly use the brakes. I thought it was originally that problem, but the front brakes looked fine. Had my friend and myself look and then also took it to a shop for a second opionion. Anyone know what's going on with it? It's starting to get annoying. I have a '01 2DR 2WD

I would check your u-joints. Depending on where the squeak is coming from.

If you know its from the wheels, i have heard and experience a hub going bad (not the bearing) the hub squealing.

But Im pretty sure its the u-joints. Go in reverse and see if you still hear it, and see if it still sounds like its coming from the front.

i was going to say maybe you're dust shields are hitting your LCA's but i can see in your signature your still waiting for you lowering parts

maybe it just is your brakes man, even tho they look fine something brakes squeek. i know they have like brake dressing and stuff at autozone you can buy to help stop squeaks, maybe you can check into that.

check front sway bar end links....mine had that, a little lithium spray grease did the trick.....

if you have a roof rack, grab it and rock the vehicle from side to side, if it squeaks it's a bushing and not your brakes
