Martymac83 Posted December 31, 2014 Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 Hi guys, I noticed this morning on the way to work that when im driving slow and turning i have a squeaking noise coming from the front end. Its pretty loud. It sounds like a bad u joint or somthing like that. Its not a brake type squeak. Any ideas?

jkeaton Posted December 31, 2014 Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 (edited) How long have you owned it? Sounds like a ball joint. Not sure what you mean by it was just certified. Edited December 31, 2014 by jkeaton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martymac83 Posted December 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 I have only owned it a month. In canada when we buy a used vehicle, it has to be inspected by a mechanic before the licensing office will register iy under your name. The only thing he found wrong was a brake caliber. The suspension is inspected for the certification but maybe it just went bad since the inspection or the mechanic was high or drunk. Haha do you think it will be safe to drive? I cant get a mechanic to look at it until after the holidays. Im about 6 hrs away from home and i am saposed to be home tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martymac83 Posted December 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 It doesn't squeak all the time. When i start the drive i dont hear anything but when i slowdown to turn i can hear it. Also it squeaks sometimes going over bumps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkeaton Posted December 31, 2014 Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 Inspect it yourself then. Jack the front up and test it as shown in the video. If it's not too bad should be ok to drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dhh3 Posted January 1, 2015 Report Share Posted January 1, 2015 If it squeaks going over bumps it could be control arm bushings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
