My car squeaks when I drive on the interstate. It drives me NUTS. EDIT: I have since sold this car and never had this fixed. There are some great suggestions in the comments! Thanks guys!
Had this exact same noise that was happening at random times (also hard to tell where exactly it was coming from). Was driving me nuts. I tried lubricating all the suspension parts; control arms; drive belt pulleys, and still had the noise. I took it to one of my mechanics, and it turned out to be a loose radiator fan. Once he tightened that bolt up, no more noise. Hope this helps someone!
Thank god this video existed to show the garage the noise! I had this for ages and it was driving me mad, and the car never made the noise for the mechanics, typical! I had new brake pads (needed them anyway) and a new clutch put in and it was solved! They reckon it was the clutch bearing making the noise. But it’s gone! Now to diagnose the other noise it’s making now 🙈
Had literally the same sound from my '01 Ford Explorer. Narrowed the sound to my steering column. A week prior I'd replaced the burnt out odometer light bulbs. Now I can actually see how fast I'm going & how much gas I have when I turn my headlights on at night! Behind the plastic lower dash panel (panel above the pedals) is a metal sheet, or at least on my car. The metal sheet & bracket below my steering column were rubbing against each other I'm not sure if I reinstalled the metal sheet wrong or what? But I took the metal sheet off, & tightened the bracket below the steering column. Put rubber foam weather seal (same width as regular tape) on the steering column bracket & on where the 5 screws go for the metal sheet. Creating a gap so the two peices of metal weren't rubbing against each other. Put everything back together, & now no more chirping/squeaking! Again, for me, it was basically metal on metal rubbing against each other causing that annoying sound. Hope this helps!!
It could be lots of things! Broken or loosed nuts, belts, pulleys, even bushings! My 81 Celica had the same problem. I replaced the front control arm bushings, the sway bar bushings and strut rod bushings, and the squeaking stopped. Note: if It's the bushing!...try getting them greased. If broken. Replace the bushings with greaseble fittings!
I had the same...2014 Ford Escape...I sat all the way to the back of the car while my wife drove. The "noise stopped." Am 99% sure it is the foam creaking in the back around the spare tire. I am going to wrap the foam in cloth, maybe put some cloth around the area too....and some weight over it...
My 2009 Hyundai Santa Fe started this irritating squeaking last week. It sounded like it was coming from the rear suspension. The squeaking was worse when I went over bumps and took sharp turns. Finally, I went under the car in the back to check the shocks, springs, and other suspension parts. When I was pushing the car up and down on the rear shocks, I noticed that the spare tire was moving so I pushed on the spare tire and it squeaked. Most of the air had gone out of the tire and that allowed it to move and squeak. I re-inflated the spare tire to 60 PSI and tightened the lift cable and the squeaking was magically gone.
I have the same squeaking noise in a Mini Cooper 2013 and it's not as loud in side the car as it is outside, it happens when letting go of the gas pedal but not when accelerating, breaking, pressing or depressing the clutch. The mechanic said the suspension is fine and would not touch it any more. As another person drove with me in the car he suggested it might the one of the pulleys as the sound is coming from the right side of the car.
I have had this same noise for a few months and resolved it today for .50 cents. I had two nuts missing from the transmission mount. Once they were tightened, the noise was gone!!!
Guys some help here. I hear the same noise as the one in the video, like there is a nest with birds in the back of the car. But mine must be some kind of chasis or suspension sqeak because when the car is OFF and I jerk it back and forth it sqeaks. It is a 1989 Nissan micra by the way. I am not that familiar with car parts and thats why I cant guess what it may be. Sounds like there is no lube in the suspension, or something like that. Thanks a lot.
A have a similar problem with my pt cruiser but it seems to be coming from the passenger side tire. Idk what it is but it squeaks the entire time I’m driving
I heard this exact same thing on my 99 Honda Accord several weeks back. It worsened from occasionally like this at high speeds to a constant squeak at all speeds. I noticed if I stepped on my breaks it did not go away. I determined IT WAS NOT THE BREAKS because I jacked up both sides and spun the wheel and gradually took break parts off until I heard the squeak stop. I ended up taking all the break parts off and the squeak still remained. I talked to an auto store worker who said it was probably a bearing (though they don't usually squeak when they're bad) or the boot on the CV axle.
i fixed mine! gladly. Turn out it was the sound from some plates at the engine area was missing a screw. first i thought it was from wheel but we gave some shake on the front hood and find out one of the screw is missing and it banging with the car frames front.
Hi I have the same problem with my strada 96 pickup model. I hear the sound at around 20 kph onwards. But when I tried to pull the steering wheel towards me it stops. I've changed the adapter and got a new steering wheel and placed it really tight. It stills chirps but when I try to pull the steering wheel towards me it stops. Any thoughts? Ita so annoying to hear the sound. Thanks need help!
Thanks a lot, man. Ill bring this vid to the dealership because thats what my brand new car jeep compass 2018 sounds like. I think it happens when I go +50 mph. The noise fades away when the car is in full stop.
Really late on this one, but maybe it’ll help someone. Had the same squeaky noise while driving my trailblazer. In my case it was a bolt that holds the sway bar bushing. It was loose and made the squeaky sound. I was replacing the lower control arm when by chance I grabbed the sway bar and heard the sound. It took care of it. I was going crazy trying to figure out what it was. Hopefully this helps anyone with the same problem.
My car had the same noise, Z rod had been changed and sorted. The ends of it were too soft and wouldn't work properly anymore. So difficult to move the new one's ends as they are hard and how it supposed to be. I used to recieve knocking sound from passenger side when I was Steering to left and right mostly left and the problem was ball joint then coil spring problem followed that. wd 40 would just delay it and would not stop to have an accident. Replacing it with new ones is the healties way.
Mine squeaks from the stupid sun roof door to close off the light. all i do is open it slightly and that same sound goes away. Dont know if you have a sun roof but thats my issue
I recently had the exact same sound coming from my front wheel. Sounded like a cricket in my wheel. Checked the brakes, plenty of pad material left, but they were dirty. I checked the slide pins make sure they operate smoothly. I noticed brake fluid leaking from my caliper piston seal. I pushed the piston back cleaned the brakes and the problem went away. Note to self,, check and clean brakes at least once a year.
@@Swoliosis1 This comment is from several years ago....trying to remember, maybe the rubber seal got positioned back into place. It was the original piston seal and calipers had never been serviced. I removed the piston and cleaned and reassembled the seals. It's the cleaning and repositioning of the seals that helped.
i got this same sound but more so over bumps, I suspect it's my rear brakes because I can't replicate the sound by jumping on the car and making the suspension go up and down
Hey! FREQ, Sounds like the speedometer cable problem I had on my Miata 97 miata. It was a mechanical speedo, and the line was squeeking....does it continue to squeek when your car is stopped?
03 350z mine is a little lower pitched and much louder, used to come and go depending how hard I hit a bump. Now it stays around. Had every piece of suspension replaced and still no idea
I’m having this issue in my g35 coupe it sounds like it’s inside the damn cabin somewhere. A constant squeak and cannot fuckin tell where it’s coming from
@@Bigyellowburner I have a 2013 maxima & I’m having the same issue as well !! Sounds like it’s coming from the rear but when I jacked up the car and spun the wheel nothing !!!! I have camber arms and they’re lubricated and nothing Squeaks so I took it for a test drive and it started too squeak again it’s annoying as’f also my car shakes bad at high speeds around 70-80mph
@@Bigyellowburnersame w me starting yesterday, mostly as I’m cruising (not going really fast) over small bumps in the road, sounds like it’s coming from behind the glove box or something. You get yours figured out?
My 2010 Hyundai does this. Mine sounds like it is coming from the steering column or floor board area. It's usually only prominent at high speeds on straight interstate driving.
My Ford focus has a similar noise but faster/more constant on the front right, and it makes the sound only sometimes, whether I'm driving or stopped. It doesn't always happen but when it does, it only dies down and stops when I turn the car off.
mine too and I just bought it a week ago. they better find it an fix it for free, but they are telling me only engine parts are covered as car is at 36, 000 miles. piss me off
I had the same noise when driving past 100km/hr, the sound magically gone when driving below that…change the brake pads since it needed to change anyway but the sound still remains.
It's more of a chirp. Could be caused by pulley misalignment. Could also be a bad waterpump bearing. Bring it in and ask them to check all the pulleys, make sure its aligned properly, and replace the belt.
Very aggravated. We have a 2013 Elantra making the same noise. I work at a shop and first we replaced the brake pads bc they were low, no solution, then mechanic said wheel bearing so we changed that. Still making noise........
I have a 95 ford bronco that just started doing this during my drive across country when i made it to rawlings wyoming from tacoma washington... there could be a list of things, wheel bearings, u joints are what my diagnosis has been for me, until im able to get a second proffessional opinion
Wheel bearings usually have a hum to them. I am not saying it's not the problem but yeah. That sound in the video is very close to what I am trying to figure out right now with my car--91 Acura Integra GS.I went to the junk yard and got different steering knuckles, put them on, still the same sound. I did this primarily because they are fairly cheap and I needed a bit of time to press out the bearings on the knuckles that was on the car to start with. Since it was squeaking a bit, I decided to go ahead and change the bearings, also the hub is pressed into the knuckle/bearings and I needed to change a stud on each side due to being stripped when I bought the car. I dislike driving with 3 lug nuts on each side on the front, the rear I wouldn't have a huge issue with--but that's me, the front not so much. Anyway, while the hub was off, I went ahead and replaced all the studs even though only around 3 where "bad", 2 completely fucked. Replaced them, put the steering knuckles back on the car, crossed fingers and... Still squeaking. While I was doing it, I did a few checks and at least in my situation the only thing I could find wrong is the upper ball joint on the driver side. That has a bit of play in it, I plan on replacing both at some point in the future with the camber kit deal. So if I remember about it, and after they are on and the squeaking stops I will try and reply here. My squeaky noise is just like this but it depends a bit. steering left or right at speed of say 35mph to 45mph the sounds changes a little bit and or stops some. The sound doesn't change noticeably when going fast like the rate of the squeak so to speak. Also I know for a fact it's not the breaks. I replaced the rotors all the way around with cross drilled slotted rotors, and the pads with carbon ceramic. It doesn't squeak when it's stopped, it only does it while moving, in gear out of gear, clutch depressed not depressed, etc, the only thing that makes it squeak is moving. The dust sheld on both sides are deformed a bit, but I made sure they had quite a bit of clearence and the only way to get them to touch the rotor would be a lot of wind within the wheel to deform it in such a way that pushed it up against it, and seeing as the squeaking is still there at low speeds, I highly doubt that's an issue. It does squeak a bit more when going faster but does not do so at the rate of speed increase. I think it's due to the upper ball joint moving a bit as the car travels down the road, all the little bumps and everything. I think it's either that or the struts/springs. I may spray it with a little lubricant and see what that does.
Haha you got birds camping out in your car haha. Best way is to make sure everything is down tight like your spare and etc. Check battery and possibly shock bushings are shot.
my 2004 tacoma 4x4 sound just like that? it start doing that when i replaced the drive belts. y'all think thats the problem? squeak when i just cruising
so i have a noise coming from my back left suspension, and only the back left, and whenever i push down on it or i drive at all it squeaks, i put wd-40 on all the bushings and ive somewhat checked everything. any help?
I'm having the same problem with my Saturn same noise. I was told that my brake pads need to be replaced. I guess there's a small medal piece that starts to make that noise once your brake pads are low.
Hi iam having similair problem. Mine comes from the front left side. And only occurs when driving more then 100 kilometers an hour. Did u solve it already? Please check my video to check my problem and revert back
Had the same issue two months ago. Change brake pads and rotors fixed mine. If it's not that then check ball joints or wheel bearing/hub. All of its behind the tire and simple to swap out.
Andréi AND same!. i drive a 2001 mitsubishi eclipse gs, im replacing the wheel bearing/hub assembly today because it needs to be done and also to see if it makes any difference.
The same thing happens to my 2012 jeep wrangler. I just bougth my car 3 weeks ago. I hear this sound only when I'm drinving and the faster I go it seems like it makes a faster sound but not really louder. This sounds seems like it comes from the side of the car like from the wheels. Also I can only hear it if theres something next ot it like a car, sidewalls, something that would make the sound echo louder. on the open flat road I can bearly hear it.
Same here. I read somewhere that it could be a jammed rock near the break pads. I live in the middle of the woods on a mountain and my 1 mile driveway is gravel. I usually don't hear the squeal/grinding sound until a few mins after driving. Have you found out what it is for you yet?
I have the same noise and its near my left front tire. Anyone know what it could be. I have a feeling its my break pad or strut or the bar that connects the racket pinion and tires. The bar was said to be bent so were unable to align my wheels. Now i have a constant squeak .
mine has been doing the same exact thing but all I can find is squeaking wheel while turning. but literally it's only while driving and it's been like this since I've gotten my car.
My car does the same thing, i have a 2003 mach 1 mustang and it comes from the front left side. And i've replaced all my shocks and struts and rotors on back and front. They even cleaned up the break pads and lubed up everything and it still makes this noise. Please help its so annoying.
ArrCee i just paid my mechanic $180 to fix it for me its ben fixed for a few days now, it was my tensioner pulley and i bought a brand new surpentine belt just incase
I just bought a 2018 nissan versa. bringing it i tuesday but not covered if it is suspension. I am only covered for engine parts. what a rip off. not even a week old
nate atkinson I have a 2007 Ford F-150 4x4 with 70,000 miles on it and it is making this same noise too! I just had front end work done in December, that I knew I had to get done in order to pass my inspection. I had to get new brakes and rotors, new upper & lower control arms and ball joints. Truck ran great! Like new for about 3 weeks with no squeaks! while making left turns with foot on and off the brakes and while switching lanes...suddenly, the same squeaking noise came back. Not sure if it could be the brake pin or something else. After spending 1300 bucks to fix these things on my truck, a week before Christmas, I’m going to pay my mechanic a visit and remind him about all the work they did to my truck and the noise I wanted them to fix. I was just wondering if someone here might know what else it could be. Any ideas or suggestions are appreciated.👍
This is kind of the same problem I'm having. I recently hit a curb & long story short.. After doing so, I had a lot of vibration in the steering wheel & pedals (even at low speeds) & a squeaking noise? like in the video. took it to the shop & the mechanics said it my Wheel Hub assembly + Rotor needed to be replaced. After they took a look & put wheel back on, no more vibration in steering wheel or pedals but I still hear that squeaking noise or I dont know how to describe clunking noise? when going over 40MPH or while braking & slowing down.. & if you look at the wheel from the side, you can tell that its wobbling.. almost as if its bent or about to fall off. Any ideas?
Same, recently hit a curb from a snowstorm. I hit my left side around 20km/h. Right side wheel squeaks exactly like this. I don't know what part it is. I have to replace the entire suspension on my car's left side and may have to do some replacements on the right side too...
Had this same exact sound on my 2011 Corolla when I hit 60+mph, and chirps constantly unless I slow down to 30mph then the sound fades. Read through all 250+ comments on this video out of desperation for answers since I've been dealing with the annoying chirping sound for 20,000 miles now. I put off going to the shop to get it checked because it sounded expensive and I thought I could live with it and just blast the music. Until I finally took it in, and within 10 minutes on the lift, they fixed the issue for $10. It was a metal or steel panel that was loose in my underbody, so when I hit 60+ mph, the wind is strong enough to blow it around so it squeaks.
I hope this is what’s the case for my Toyota. Started a few days ago and my car is kinda noisy anyways (cheap plastics and what not) so I thought it was part of it until I was going to work today when I realised yeah this is definitely something else. Seems like it’s coming from the passenger side somewhere around the wheel area but not too sure.
my car the same noise and it is Fiat Stilo ! for mine the noise comes from accelerating if i take my foot of the pedal i can hit bumps or anything and it wont be heard.
I have this same problem with my camaro I lifted the car up on the rear side and accelerated it was coming from the passenger rear side but I haven’t been able to find the problem it only does the noise when driving more then 40MPH and once I stop it goes away it gets louder when there’s other vehicles next to me or a wall or something that makes it echo if anyone have any suggestions please let me know thank you! It’s driving me crazy!
@@GangstaRap4Lyfe okay so when brakes wear down, there is a little "Brake wear indicator" clip on there it just makes a squeel noise when they need changed.
Mines does this as well. Here are the three stages. 1)barely noticeable while car is stopped 2) louder as I'm taking off from a still position 3) extremely loud as I'm breaking or going high speeds such as the freeway ( yes, its so loud I hear it on the freeway) :( help guys/girls
My car also constantly squeaks while driving coming from front passenger side, and it gets even louder as I lightly apply the brakes approaching a red light. I can't find any videos that make this noise. Any help would be appreciated. 2008 mazda 6. 4 cyl
I have the same issue in my bmw 335 x drive. light squeaks on a regular drive, but gets louder when brakes applied lights and just before its about to stop. also, mine happens in the winter mostly. Did you find the cause>?
My Hyundai Venue is doing the exact same thing what could it be it's driving me nuts my car is brand new can someone please give me some idea of what could be the cause of this noise please I'm begging you 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭🤪🤪🤪🤪🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃I think I'm losing it........????????
its the sound of brake pads seal to indicate that you have to change pads moreover you also have to polish the drums , because you didnt change brake pads on time and they become very thin causing your drum polish dull
DreaM istique how did you diagnose and fix it? I suspect it’s my accelerator too but I can make it make the sound unless I’m driving over 60. It’s driving me insane
My dodge has the same exact problem and I have no idea what it is, I don't want to take it to the mechanic because they will end up fixing the wrong thing any idea what yours was from
Erick Satterfield I have a 2002 ram 1500 I've asked around some say it's bearings some say it's suspension some think it's breaks but it drives me crazy
ICExTWISTED yeah I hear ya it driver me crazy to but I just changed my front pads today so I'll give it a few days and let you know if it fixed the problem or not
ICExTWISTED so I did more looking into it and found out that my inner break pads were wearing faster than my outer pads🤔 might be an alignment issue I assume but I have no idea why it happened
