    Squeaky front end.



    What's really annoying is that the squeak not only occurs when you push down on the front end, but also if you turn your steering wheel at all

    I have greased everything in site

    Anyone know what this is?

    that's the first time i've ever seen someone post a video of their car making a funny noise to help troubleshoot What all have you greased? You've probably got some bushings that are shot... LCA's maybe?

      What can I say, I want to get my use outta the camera, plus you know, hearing the noise helps a lot. Better than me sitting here "it kind of squeaks but its louder when you barely push it.."

      I got in and greased essentially everything in sight with the tire removed :D

      I figure when I replace the axels I will see if it goes away. This noise is just horrendous. And it only does it during the warmer months.. Goes away in the winter time ;D

          Anyone actually know what I need to buy? I'm looking through the archives for this right now.. I've got about 200 dollars and I want to fix my axle popping and the squeak with it

            Maybe I should add, this goes away when it rains.. which i guess indicates it's something needing to be greased, or replaced.. Still no ideas? I've finally got the money to fix the crap that's been driving me crazy for years

                  It's always dependent on the weather... If it's cold out, it doesn't sqeak. Which is why I hadn't mentioned it until now, because it wasn't happening during the winter. But now it's hot out and it is horrible Yesterday it was hot and humid, and I was going to the store, when I came out, and started driving home (rain puddles), it wasn't sqeaking by the time I arrived at home.
