my car squeaks!
 

Well my back right tire is squeaking when I go over uneven road.. I've heard about the ball joints going bad in these cars causing it to squeak.. what do you guys think it is?

EWWW, is it like a watery squeak or just like a dry fart squeak?
j/k

Anyways i say jack it up and take the wheel off and see if you notice anything, ive heard the ball joints going too.

I'll try to check it tonight, it's making me mad!

What have you been doing in the back seat of your car huh? ;)

Well, that hasn't caused it on mine yet...

haha.. I dunno but there was a lot of squeaking!!!

Or mines... ;)

take your wheel off one at a time and push up on your calipers to produce the effect of a bumpy road.

make sure your car is really secure.

I don't see how you can do anything in the back of a mustang, the only thing I use the back seat for is luggage....

Well my girl only weighed 110 before i knocked her up and is only 5'4...Use your imagination :devil2:

Im 6'4, id have to fold them seats down.
:devil2:

geez such a romantic :rolleyes:

Balljoints? I thought they are only in the front. Sometimes when it's cold i get a squeeking noise from the rear right wheel for the first 1/2 block of driving. Then it goes away. It's probably something with the traction control, or maybe just the brakes or axle being cold.

They ARE only up front. Unless you guys have something I dont...

hahah yeah got her kncocked up very nice way to tlk pleasantly about her

Exactly. I got confused because she was talking about ball joints, then about the rear wheel.

There are no ball joints in the rear only in the front. So which is it front or rear that is squeaking?

well its not the ball joints then lol.. the squeak is definately from the rear and doesn't go away. and my traction control is off

Does it go away when you apply brakes. Have you done any work on springs, control arms, ureathane bushings or exhaust. Exhuast could be rubbing,bushings could be binding on control arm, isolators could be toast and l is rubbing on perches. Also check the rear shocks and quad shocks.

of coarse it wouldnt....1 minute wouldnt be enough time to cause any damage..

rear control arm bushings ( esp if you have poly bushings)



:endthreadjack

Struts? Do you go over speed bumps really slow and hear it?

There are no struts in the back?:confused:

Sorry was thinking front end for the ball joints (correction, only in front), could be the shocks in the back.

only thing done is the springs.. my dad thinks it's the bushings rubbing though, but it could also very well be the exhaust because we had some issues on that side. I'll check it out tonight and let you guys know what I see

Hey i had that EXACT same problem in the same spot, and i took it to the dealership and it was the exhaust rubbing against the frame. Cost me 70 for them to tell me that. :) I bet it's the exhaust. Mine squeekd all the friggin time

Exhaust? Mine did it stock before any mods were done, and still does it. My squeak however would go away if it was raining or the roads were wet. My dumb ass took mine to a dealer. I dropped it off the night before and then the next day it rained. so they had my car all day just to give it back and say they didn't hear nothing wrong. Try WD-40 on your rear swaybar bushings and trailing arm bushings, then drive it. see what that does. Also try your rear brakes. does the sound go away when you brake?

My Suburban started to squeak really bad when going over bumps, and then when just driving. A mechanic took a needle and injected some grease into one of the rubber boots on either the shock or the boot and the squeak has been gone for a year+

well last night we put it in the garage and made the car bounce and it wasn't making the noise, we looked to see if the exhaust looked like it had been rubbing and everything looked ok. We took it for a spin today and no squeaking lol. I let my dad drive it by himself to see if it was a weight thing and nothing. I dunno lol

He looked underneath again and the exhaust isn't rubbing we don't think.. we did notice my gear box was leaking! so we tightened that up

Is it more of a rattle or clunk?

Bad sway bar endlinks are notorious to make a clunk/squeak sound when going over bumps.
