Lexus RX 2004-09 :: RX350 - Rear End Noise Squeaks / Groans Rubbing Sounds

I had this problem before on my 2009 RX350 and took it to the dealer - they were stumped at first but eventually figured out it was the spare tire making noise every time I made a turn into a driveway or went over a little hill/bump.

They did something to adjust it or tighten it and the jack etc. and it went away. Now the sound is back, big time. How to adjust the spare to get rid of this. Also if there's a hack to pad or insulate the spare that would be great.

I also found another thread on a similar thing but it's talking about struts, shocks and trailing arms on 3rd generations. [URL] ....

Ford Super Duty (1999-2016) :: 2008 F350 - Noisy Rear Suspension - Creaks / Squeaks And Groans

My 2008 rear suspension creaks and squeaks and groans when I move my horse trailer. Truck has 32k miles, has done since purchase last year, squirted wd 40 and that works. At ford place now, they say it is because I added the ride rite air bags. Told them it made same sound before I installed. What to tell them (tech service bulletins ?) or give up and keep spraying and looking for dry joint?

Passat (B6) :: 2006 - Front Suspension Squeaks Quite Over Bumps When Cold

I've got a 2006 b6 2.0 with about 92k on it. I bought it Cpo at around 68k 3 years ago this December. My auto tech said I'm going to need a new timing belt in about a month, so once this semester is over in a few weeks I'll be taking it in for that. Anyway, to my questions. My front suspension squeeks quite a bit going over bumps, especially when cold. Is this a sign of bad things to come in the future? Now my brakes, when they get wet they give off a very rough feeling, not very smooth. I have to slam on my brakes to 'wake them up'. Is this telling me they need to be replaced?

Phaeton :: Rattles From The Front Speakers And Squeaks?

I only saw two links in the entire forum for rattles that are occuring from the front speakers. I seem to get some rattles from the left of the driver side by the foot well or somewhere around the vent area there...it is hard to tell where its coming from but it occurs whenever the car goes over some bumps.

I also noticed some squeaking by the wood area on left rear door...again i cant seem to place my finger on where exactly its coming from but is there a chance that something is loose in between the doors thats causing this? or could it be that the cold is just causing the wood to contract thus causing for these problems?

Cavalier - Chevrolet :: 2003 - Front End Squeaks Repetitively

I recently bought an 2003 manual transmission Cavalier which looks and drives great, albeit for one (hopefully minor) issue:

The front end repetitively squeaks like a squeaky toy (does not sound like metal-on-metal) when driving. The squeaking is not constant ("Squeak....") but has a rhythm (Squeak....Squeak...Squeak...Squeak...Squeak). The tempo of the squeaking increases the faster I go and appears to be loudest (or most annoying) around 30 mph. In addition, some bumps will cause the squeaking to occur, but the squeaking will return to its original rhythm immediately afterward. The squeaking sounds similar/equal distance whether I'm driving or riding in the passenger seat.

Sonata NF (2006-10) :: Front End Squeaks And Crunching With Just Going Over Bumps

For the past year I've had the front end squeaks and crunching from my 06 Sonata LX with 97k miles. It started with just going over bumps, then progressed to basically any movement of the body up and down. It's worse in the cold, but an issue all year.

I just did shocks and struts all around, with the mounts. Didn't affect the sounds at all. At 97k, the original shocks/struts were woefully dead. At least the car rides 10x better now.

Yesterday I changed out the sway bar end links with Moog K80949's. It does sound like some of the "crunching" is gone, and now we're back to just squeaking. I think even some of the constant squeaking over fairly normal roads is gone.

So, what's up next? The FSM suggest the lower control arm, which I'd prefer not to do. Sway bar bushings could be an option, but they looked kind of like a PITA to get to.

Chevrolet - Cavalier :: 2007 - Front End Squeaks And Creaks

I have recently made some repairs to my 2007 Chevy Cavalier LT AT/FWD/ABS/TRACTION CONTROL, has 60,000 miles. I replaced the stabilizer bar bushings, tie rod ends, control arms and sway bar end links then got an alignment. Later on a week later I changed the front brakes. The car felt good for 2 weeks after the suspension parts were replaced and a week after the brake job, then all of the sudden the car began squeaking and creaking on the front end.

Sometimes, the creaking and squeaking come when I turn, some times when I slow done and sometimes when I go from a stop to slowly speeding up (in forward drive or in reverse). I am puzzled as to what it could be. I just this evening sprayed some Blaster! Silicon Lubricant on the stabilizer bar bushings and control arm pivot rear pivot bushing.

The sounds seems not so loud now, but the squeaking and creaking are still there. Could be that where I sprayed was only where some of the noise was coming from. I suspect that the other squeaking and creaking could be coming from the strut bushings and/or strut bearing.

Chrysler - Ptcruiser :: 2006 - Squeaks From Front At Slow Speed?

My 2006 PT Cruiser Touring Edition has a lot of squeaks from the front. Most noticeable at low speed going over speed bumps or potholes. My mechanic has checked front end and says noise is coming from rear cradle bushings and wants to drop rear cradle and inspect/lube bushings. Also says sway links are dry and recommends lubing these as well. Everything else is OK. Estimate is $100-$150. Other than the annoying squeaking (which I can live with) is there any other reason (safety/mechanical) to get this done?

Hyundai - Sonata :: 2006 - Front End Squeaks At Slow Speed?

I have a 2006 Hyundai Sonata that squeaks when I turn left while in motion. It squeaks regardless of the degree of the turn but is more noticeable at slower speeds. The squeak isn't a screech so I don't think it's a belt. it isn't a grinding noise either. More like a "squeak, squeak, squeak." Seems to squeak with the rotation of the tire.

Passat (B7) :: 2013 - Lot Of Loud Squeaks While Driving

So I have a 2013 Passat I bought on 1/2013 and it currently has 25,9XX miles and it's having a lot of loud squeaks while driving. It turned out to be an issue with the rear brake rotors which they are saying aren't covered due to being a wear and tear item but wouldn't <26k be abnormal wear and not fall under that exclusion? Both the service department and the person I spoke to at VWoA said they had never heard of anything like this happening before.

Passat (B5) :: Intermittent Codes, Creaks And Squeaks Keeps Coming

My Passat seems happy enough. Been over a year since I've had a problem. Not even a CEL. My dilema is do I take this into the dealer for warranty work or best leave well enough alone.

For kicks I did a Vag COm scan the other day (last one was a year ago and I cleared the codes ) and I have a handful of intermittent codes again. Mostly the same. Cleared again, rescanned in a week and only one came back. They are mostly Central Convenience / HVAC codes. The one that came back was one of 2 codes for positioning motors in the HVAC.

I know digging into dash stuff isn't fun. Creaks and squeaks and demons come out if the the tech isn't careful in what he does. I'm not noting any issues at all.

Mazda - Mazda3 :: 2006 - Front Driver Side Tire Squeaks Like Old Mattress When Drive

My front driver's side tire squeaks like an old mattress when I drive, especially over any bumps or when turning. Could this be caused by a cracked wheel rim? I got new tires and had them rotated/balanced about 3 months ago. The squeaking started right before this so I asked the tire place to check it out, but they said they didn't see anything. The squeaking has become increasingly more annoying since then. Note: I also got new struts about 6 mos ago and then drove my car across country. Since then I have driven quite a bit in the city which involves very bad pot holes.
