this is the last place i wanted to opst on this site..but i have a lil problem...

there a squeek comming from my engine area. last night it was only whn i hit a bump or something..leading me to believe its my struts or springs..or i didnt put my k bar on tight enough. NOW its starting to squeek when i turn. not good. and its not my tires rubbing because i already fixed that problem. it souinds like its comming from the passenger side..but i dunno. its hard to tell while driving.

BTW i do have progress springs.

suggestions or anyhting would help. thanks!!

maybe it's something with your power steering???I will check it out tonight @ sonic...

 

is it a squeek or is it a rattle? I have the progress srpings and i get a rattle noise.

 

Could it be your brakes? I had a very similar squeek and it turned out to be my brakes.

 

did you hit the bump pretty hard?

 

no to all of the above. its not while im braking and turning, just turning. and i dont drive crazy over bumps. my car is my baby.

i dont htink its power steering. i heard it squeeking on the acces road going home last night on a relativly straight road.

 

When it was my brakes, it only made the noise when I WASN"T braking. got louder when I turned and I could make it stop squeaking if I jerked the car the other direction.

 

hmm..might be the brakes. but .. last night i would go ove a slight bump and hear a slight squeek. and now small bumps or turning it makes a noise..so i dunno

what did you have to do U9V. replace anything?

 

ok. im going to try to describe the noise i hear..its like when steel is being bent. its kinda a grind..but more of a squeek.

 

is ur ac on?

 

nope. i BARELY use it, even in this texas heat.

 

hmm..i forgot how boring life was whn you dont have a car.

im too afraid to drive it to a shop. i dont want my wheel flyin off when im on the highway.

 

WELL, i got a wrench and a rubber mallet and tightned all the bolts that hold the K-bar to the top of the struts..and it worked. How long it wont squeek is the real question.

 

ok. that didnt last too long. now it only squeeks when i turn left. any help from you grease monkeys?!?!
