EXTREMELY ANNOYING SQUEAKS

Post by Zvibe04 »

i have a squeak 1) in my driver's side drum in the back, it only does it when im going real slow, especially when im backing up, and 2) in my suspension on my front drivers side, it squeaks when im on rough roads, like brick streets. both are driving me CRAZY, the drum has been squeaking for a long time, the shoes dont need replaced though, and the front squeak started about a month after the wreck, i think. PLEASE HELP!!

maybe a bad wheel hub idk, mine started squeaking then got bumpy and i just got one replaced finally. put the car up and spin the tire alittle bit and tell us what noise you hear after doing that. you may need to try multiple tires cause its hard to tell which one it is

i think i might of figured out the front squeak, i think its my hood latch or hinge, bc my hood got messed up a little in the wreck. the back squeak, ive checked all four wheels, its definately the left rear drum, and it wont squeak then the wheel is in the air, it only does it while im either depressing the brake, or when im backing up at the right speed.

Hmmm, possibly a dragging rear brake...

Not sure if this is what you are talking about....I get squeaks when I apply the brake pedal or pull-up on the emergency brake lever. I have isolated it to the rear drums just got to figure out how to silence it. I think I might try to remove the drum and see if I can lube the brake cabe or something.
