I just got my car back from the body shop I had fish tailed and nailed a curb and smashed the back half of my car into a tree. Well long story short I got my car back and the only suspension damage was steering wheel bushings that were broke and had to be replaced. I just went ahead and had them install my MM caster camber plates. mach 1 shocks/struts and H & R sport springs, and my Cobra front brake kit. Well I got the car back today and I noticed while driving it I hear a squeeking noise coming from the front of the car. When I give it gas I can hear it getting louder and louder and when I let off the gas it slowly goes away. Does anyone know what this could be?

 

maybe this is way off but is it just ur pulleys? if it gets louder when u rev up that would be first thing i would check or belt

 

take if back to the shop have them take a ride with you. im thinking bearings on your spindles. take it back to whoever fixed your ride.

a pulley going bad only makes a chirping noise. never heard belt squeal with a spring loaded tensioner.

 

Hey man, it may just be the alternator charging your battery back up after it has been setting for a while. The belt may be slipping a very little bit under high output from alternator. I would give it a few hours of driving before I would worry.

 

Well I am supercharged and it kinda looks like the procharger got pushed back some. My check engine light is now on. The pulley is like almost touching my altentor now. I will try to get some pictures up.

 

and it is a chirping noise. The faster I go the louder it gets when i start slowing down it gets less noticeable.

 

What happens if you push the clutch in when going down the road? What if you pull it outa gear and leave it in neutral with the clutch out while going down the road? Does it do it at a standstill and get faster if you rev it up? This will help you rule out if its something engine related, driveline related or suspension/brake related

 

I am automatic.

 

then try the reving in neutral thing and riding down the road in neutral, its the same procedure just no clutch pedal. You just need to figure out where the noise is coming from at this point before you can move forward

 

It's not coming from the front. With further inspection the sound is coming from the back. My back driver side rear rim smashed into a curb sideways and shattered. So I'm thinking its something from that. Or maybe they left my e-break on and it warped the brakes or missing clips. I don't know taking it back to the body shop tommrow.

 

I took it back to the body shop and it turned out to be a bent axle. Kick ***...

 

w00t

 

Maybe it's a good time to upgrade to 31 spline axles, if cash permits.

 

I would but I'm strapped on cash. My deductable was 1000 dollars. Plus I had all my suspension installed and bought the 10th anniv cobra front brake kit. I spent a good ammount of money last month on the car saving for a built auto tranny now. Damn s/c is eating up this auto right now.
