![]() Replacing the fan belt should solve the problem. A loose or worn fan belt can cause a high-pitched squeak that is closer to a squealing sound if the rubber is slipping on the pulley. ![]() If your car squeaks when it's first turned on or if your car starts screeching upon acceleration: Without proper lubrication, these can dry out and become prone to metal-on-metal friction damage, which translates as a squeak as you drive. Suspension - Your car's suspension system is made up of various components, including springs, shock absorbers, tie-rods, seals, ball joints, and universal joints. #Car creaks when driving professionalHave a professional look at the entire braking system, including the calipers, just to be safe. If you hear a squeak when braking, rusty brake rotors, new brake pads, or dust on the brake discs could be why. Brakes: Poorly fitted brake pads or discs could result in a squealing sound, or if they are worn down, you could hear a metallic squeak while driving slowly.If your car makes a squeaking noise when driving slowly or braking: I ordered some AC Delco ones to try to see if they do not make such annoying sounds.If your car squeaks when you're driving, these are some of the potential issues that may be causing it. I have found that most of the noise is coming from the stabilizer bar bushings. I feel it is a vast improvement from the way it sounded before and hope the sound will eventually go away as the rubber pieces settle in a bit. Then drove the car around and just noticed slight rubbery squeakish sounds from both sides when I go over bumps. Parked the car and torqued the rear control arm bolts and then the front control arm bolts one side at a time. Then put the wheels on and took the car off the stands and went around the block a couple of times. Then I took off the stabilizer bar bushings and put the Silicon Grease on there too and retightend the stabilizer bar bushing clamps. I loosened the rear control arm to subframe bolt, while on jack stands, and took off one at a time the bolts for the front control arm to subframe bolts and put Danco Silicon Grease on the rubber part of the control arm there and tightened the bolts, but leaving them loose a bit. Tester, I did what you said and even went one step further and put Danco Silicon Grease on the rubber pivot point of the control arm and the stabilizer bar bushings. Any ideas or thoughts as to what it could be or any suggestions are welcome! I suspect that the other squeaking and creaking could be coming from the strut bushings and/or strut bearing. Could be that where I sprayed was only where some of the noise was coming from. The sounds seems not so loud now, but the squeaking and creaking are still there. I just this evening sprayed some Blaster! Silicon Lubricant on the stabilizer bar bushings and control arm pivot rear pivot bushing. ![]() Sometimes, the creaking and squeaking come when I turn, some times when I slow done and sometimes when I go from a stop to slowly speeding up(in foward drive or in reverse). The car felt good for 2 weeks after the suspension parts were replaced and a week after the brake job, then all of the sudden the car began squeaking and creaking on the front end. Later on a week later I changed the front brakes. I replaced the stabilizer bar bushings, tie rod ends, control arms and sway bar end links then got an alignment. Hi, I have recently made some repairs to my 2007 Chevy Cavalier LT AT/FWD/ABS/TRACTION CONTROL, has 60,000 miles. ![]()
