Thread: Front end noise

I am so ready to be done with my GP!

My newest problem is some sort of whistling and squeaky sound. It sounds like its coming from one of the wheel wells. I have had all new struts, brakes, and tie rods. I noticed when I hit a bump that it sounds like one of my wheels squeaks. The sounds is pretty noticeable, I hear it with the radio and air both turned up. Any ideas?

Brake clip on caliper hanger rubbing rotor? Possibility?

Hub assembly is another thought too...

hubs suck

ball joint, maybe?

Ugh I am just so done with all the repairs! Don't get me wrong I do love my GP but I'm at my wits end with putting so much money out for repairs.

Warped rotors?
Something between the pads and rotors?

If you stop now, you're going to be doing the same thing with another car. Once you get this fixed you shouldn't have anything to replace for a while.

Thats what I keep thinking but its been one thing after another!

Mine has been the same way since my topswap, its gotta get better sometime.

I know your pain, on my 99 the tranny went, then the brakes, thats not to mention getting new mufflers a few months prior etc.
then i got a 05 - im still spending money lol but its mostly because we care about our cars and dont run em into the ground like some people.

Im with u on that! I've got a laundry list of things to be done, I get to it when I can afford it and hope it doesn't blow up in the meantime!

try greasing the caliper bolts if not done before, with out grease the calipers tend to stick and not slide open after you let off the brakes, and they can squeal when they dont slide open.

I think I have pinpointed the noise the front left of the car. It may be brakes but I think its more than that. The noise is much more apparent when stopping continues while driving. I have also noticed a bad squeak in the front tire area when hitting any bumps. I attached a couple videos (for sound, no picture) to hear the squeaking...
