Driving to work yesterday, passenger window down and passed a long stretch of wall. Had no idea until i heard the sound reflecting how bad my car squeaks! :eek:
I know the exhaust is secure as that clank was cured last month during a full service and check.
I spent an hour underneath pulling and pushing on every part i could think would have movement, but nothing seems loose. I then spent ages bouncing on the boot sill and front wing to see if its the springs, still nothing.
Took it out for another drive, still squeaking like a mouse with its goolies trapped in its treadmill
only when your rolling? changes with speed, clutch in / out, whilst braking, cornering(both ways) get someone else in the car with you to assist, more info needed
Any difference with foot on the clutch?
Does it do it while not moving?
Could any number of things and could be caused by the warmer weather drying something out.
Is it a constant whine/squeek? Or only while going over bumps/rough roads?
definately suspension. improved with new tyres but still there.
taking the wheels off tonight to give them a good scrub and will grease the rear springs while im at it. had a good look while the wheels were off at the garage but still cant see anything wrong. damn infuriating!
Suspension bushes or worn engine mounts often squeak. Engine mounts only tend to squeak while driving and not if you bounce the car, so this might well be the problem.
The engine mounts in my wifes old Clio used to squeak like a b*****d when moving.
