squeaking noise

[xvr843]

When traveling on highway, my car makes a squeaking noise when i hut certain bump or travel on certain roads, does this sound like a bad strut? It squeaks and rattle

"A squeak" is a little broad. Can you isolate the noise? Can you find a way to replicate the noise while it is parked? If it is a strut, or even suspension at all, it is possible it will make the same squeak if you sit on the body of the car to raise and lower it

I think you have a squeak. I'm almost certain of it.

Let us know when you narrow it down better. We can't hear it from here.

comes from drivers side wheel, i kicked the wheel and it like rattle

Sounds like you need to jack the car up and do some more poking and shaking to narrow it down. We can't do that from here.

Kicking a wheel and getting a rattle doesn't tell us anything.

If you read correctly, i just told you what i think it could be. I suspected a bad strut, that why im asking to confirm its a bad strut or not.

Read the sticky post at the top of this section. We need more information on the squeak. We can't hear it.

Cold, hot, driving straight, bumps, turning, bouncing it up and down parked?????? Only YOU can narrow down a noise, as we don't have access to the car. Noises and small leaks are very subjective and difficult to explain. That leaves most of it in your court.



It could be the strut, could be a tie-rod, could be endlink bushings, could be a subframe mount, could be a TON of things under there. The squeak and the rattle are also very likely two separate components, both sounds may not be coming from one source.

Once again, it squeaks and rattle when im on certain roads or when i hit bumps. on a flat even road it does not rattle or squeak
