yea so for the past several months i've been gettin my car checked out from my mech's every week, and they cant find nothing wrong with the front end. all bushings are fine, tie rods etc are tight...what else could it be?? Every morning the first thing i hear from the right front strut only (kyb adjustables) is this squeaky noise, and later on during the day while drivin down 2 my garage on those fuqed up newark/elizabeth roads/highways, all i hear is a bunch of squeaky noises from the whole front end. Like what else could it be, its really gettin on my nerves, and i do still have lifetime warranty on all 4 struts, but to me that doesnt sound like the problem. I've also checked out the strut mounts and there fine.

oh and one more thing, when im driving on some highways that have little bumps on em in some places or train tracks, i feel this vibration that feels like everything in the front end is about to fall apart right then and there.

what to do.........???

 

Hmmm...have similar noises from the rear...

 

i think the car you bought from spak was involved in an accident if i remember correctly.

 

im not talking about the car i bought from him (waiting for the court date), im talking about mines (97 blue gxe) that ive had for the past 2 yrs. any help would be appreciated

 

How about those rubber spring isolators? There are only so many things you can replace. Control arm bushings, end links, sway bar bushings... If the bushings are 10-year old original Nissan bushings, then your squeaks are probably coming from them.

Might as well just face the truth now. It's a 10 year old car. They squeak and rattle. Some things get worm and others start to loosen up.

 

it could be ur brake dust cover rubbing on the brake disc

 

that's a totally different sound then what im talking about. every time im driving on a bumpy road it makes squeaky noises.

 

Your taking him to court? That car was worth every penny of what you paid regardless of what was wrong with it. It could have had a blown engine and transmission and still be worth $600.

 

are all the bolts tight on the top hat of ur ajustables?
jack up your car nd tighten them

 

My car squeaks too, I am replacing control arms (bushings and ball joints), inner and outer tie rods, and sway bar links this week. I'll let you know how it turns out.

 

Mine does the same thing, it's kind of embarassing. My maxima is my daily driver though, so I don't mind to much.

 

still havent recieved the right title!!! like wtf its been 6 months know an hes just fuqin around. i have more then edit: $4000 worth of repairs still to be done with that car.

 

sorry didnt mean to turn the thread the wrong way. i didn't know what car you were talking about.

 

so nobody thought to check your strut mounts? thats usually the cause of the noise youre talking about there prone to do that it sounds wierd but i had a similar problem not to long ago i poured motor oil just a little bit throught the hole and on top of the strut mount and havent had a noise since

 

i get the noise too. "squeak squeak squeak" over bumps. its annoying but ive decided to deal with it. i narrowed it down to either the rubber insolators on the springs or the sway bar bushings.

 

or you can use CRC... doesnt hurt to try that

 

no. this noise is NOT from strut mounts. strut mounts can either rattle over bumps, or squeak when the wheels turned. they dont squeak when you hit a bump in the road.

 

I have the same problem with mines. But every little bump I hit it makes a noise sounding like chains hitting something loose.

 

so basically i had another one of my mechs look at it, and he basically tied down the battery with cable ties, and sprayed the whole front end/bushings with wd-40. took it out for a test drive for about 10 minutes, and i dont have any more noise. yet it still bothers me that what part went bad. ill give it a few days and lets see if the noise comes back.

 

do tell me if you have fix the vibration on the steering wheel when driving over the bumps and rail tracks.

 

sway bar end links do some funny ****

 

I have the same situation but somtimes is in the back (the squeak), and other times is in the front. So please tell me is just a DW-40 spray and all.

 

hmmm 100 miles later and no noise knock on wood, runnin strong..but still have that vibration in the suspension

 

umm strut mounts can make noise at all times because they are attached to the stru meaning that they always are in contact with the road so i dont see how the strut mounts arent a culprit

 

because they dont squeak.

 

No more squeaks , now I just need an alignment.

 

i sprayed mine with some wd-40 today too, and i too am getting nomore squeaks. man i hope it lasts. haha

 

yea it'll last you 2-3 days....yup the squeaks are coming back. i guess ill just keep on spraying it cause im not spending that type of $ on this car anymore

 

i may just replace my swaybar endlink bushings and see if that helps or not. im gunna test it once the squeaks come back and just spray the bushings with wd40. if they stop, i know thats where theyre comin from. now if only i could find this damn metalish jingling sound.
