Anyone have any hints on what is wrong with my ride? The car lightly ticks when moving in reverse and squeaks when turning (similar to bad springs in a mattress). The ticks come from the front-end and the squeaks are from all around. WTF is wrong with my ride???

Sheki,

I see that u have a FSTB...I hear some people on the .org sayin automatic 5.5 gens make a noise when going into reverse becuz of the FSTB....could this be a possibility for yer car?

Not totally sure about the squeaks when turning....Maybe run a visual exam on your suspension components to see if anything is loose? Sorry i'm not good at this...just throwing u suggestions....hopefully everything gets worked out, cuz I know wut yer going thru right now

maybe you have a bad bearings in your struts thats causing the squeaking when you turn. i dont know about that ticking in reverse though

hey...thanks! I'm pretty sure it is not the FSTB since the rubbing sound between the IM and FSTB sounds different (more like a cell phone in vib mode)...and it only happens if I gun it going reverse which I rarely do. The noise I'm getting are clean ticks (hopefully not the tranny dying). I'm getting all these issues after visiting the dealer.

When I put my automatic into reverse I get a few clean ticks also. They happen only when I first put it in gear then the ticks stop. I tried a few things and realized that I only get the ticks when I put it in drive or reverse while my foot is on the brake pedal. If I take my foot off the brake pedal and put it in gear I don't get any ticks. I don't know what my ticks are from, but I hope the tranny is ok!

Wheel bearing and struts are two TOTALLY different things. From what it sounds like, it could be the wheel bearing, not the struts.

Yea I would also suggest you check out your front wheel bearings. You may also want to do a visual check on your CV boot to make sure it is not cut/torn. If it is you may also have CV joint going bad.

This advice is absolutely correct, given the sounds you are hearing. If you have warranty/extended warranty, this work is covered. Under my extended warranty (the one where you pay no deductible), I had the left front bearings replaced twice, and CV joint/boot replaced once.
