Odd Squeak coming front or rear....

[ddiorio1313]

Over the past year a strange sqeak has been getting louder and louder coming from under the car. At first I thought it was coming from the front, but now it sounds as if it is coming from the back. I jacked the car up about 2 months ago and visually inspected the shocks/struts and springs. Nothing appeared to be very worn. The bushings appeared to be worn some. The noise doesnt occur if the car bounces up and down, well maybe a little. The squeak really occurs more when the car shifts front to back. Any Ideas...

Another noise that is occuring is slight squeak coming from my steering wheel when at lower speeds and turning the wheel at extreme angles a slight squeak will occur...any ideas?

One final thing when I come to a stop at slow speeds, a squeal or even creeking sounds comes from my front brake area, but it almost seems like it isn't the brakes making the sound. Could it be the tierods or bushings....

If the mileage is getting towards 60K, I would have a front end shop check the lower control arm bushings. This seems likely from your description...

Does the noise happen when taking off in first gear? Does it sound like it's coming from under your seat? I have a noise like that and I think it's the gas tank. When I get under the car I can actually shift the tank forward to back very slightly and it makes a similar noise to what I hear in the car. Kind of a sqeak/groan sound. I've got to figure out a way to tighten it down.

The squeaking could be any number of things. Have aftermarket swaybars and/or poly bushings been installed? If so, these can be suspect if not properly greased.
The squeaking noise that you refer to when turning the steering wheel may be the power steering pump - if it tends to squeal or squelch when you max out the wheel. Check the power steering fluid level and top up if needed (also check for steering fluid leaks).....

95 ti - the owners manual said to use ATF fluid for the power steering - but, it didn't specify which type of ATF - anyone have any insight?

I had that same problem,. seemed as though there was something loos under my seat. It was rattling only when I was taking off in 1st gear,.. took it to my tech,. we found out that it was the heatshield over the cat,. we just took it off and it's fine now :D

just spray everything with oil, you'll be fine ;)

seriously though, have you identified where exactly the squeaks are coming from?
