    I have got mad squeaking coming from the drivers side wheel well, and it is driving me crazy. I have to know if its something dangerous or can be lubed we something until I install my new struts/springs etc...

    If anyone could take a look at it tomorrow, I would really appreciate it. The noise is embarrassing and unbearable. :(

    Thanks,

    bring it to chipotle tomorrow and I am sure you could have one of the tonka techs listent to it.

    I had a bad squeek on my 02 sedan, it was my brake calaper bracket rubbing on my rotor due to a bad wheel bearing. it would rock so when I turned the bracket rubbed on my rotor.

    that's a possibility. All depends on whether or not someone will want to after a fat burrito! At least it'll be easy to figure out which car i'm in. You'll b able to hear it coming a mile away!

    this doesn't really help but, I did work on a co-workers car and when I finished it, everytime he turns the car there's a clunk, clunk like a bad axle but its the springs/struts need to be lubricated since i raised the car and yes its a load noise but not squeaky. Its a Ford Focus by the way.

    It sounds like rubber against metal. Obnoxious, wrenching, squeaking. When I accelerate from a dead stop, it sounds like it's ripping apart as the car starts to rise. My only current suspension mods at 123k miles are a Perrin PSRS, that hasn't been lubed for quite a while and a RSB/Endlinks. I have never replaced anything concerning suspension, except for these.

    I have to crank my radio just to drown out the sound, but I know. I know it's stilll doing it. And people can hear me coming and going for miles and miles.

    My apartment is filled with antsy suspension parts, ready to go in, but living in a minnesota apartment in the middle of January sux for fixing a car.
