Hey guys I got my car a few weeks ago so I am starting to fix its little problems but I cant figure out the squeak that comes from it, I bought lubricant for it and sprayed it all under it because it is mainly the front part that makes the sound I sprayed it on the control arms all of that stuff but it wont go away I will put a video so you guys could hear it.

I know that replacing all of that would fix the problem but thats gonna be very expensive and to be honest the bushings dont look bad at all I was really surprised, I live in Florida so we dont get snow or salt on the roads, even though it looks good the squeak is insane you can tell by the video.

Anyways in the video at first I move the steering side to side then turn and then at the end go up a little on my drive way thats when you can really hear it, I suppose its coming from the steering rack too since it also does it when I steer anyways if you guys could help me out maybe point me to a good product that would be great thanks!

Check how tight the front wheels are on first .

Do you have little pieces of gravel on your roads ? Sounds like something is stuck between the rotor and backing plate....

MrTracy

Look at the ball joints.

MartinWake

Yes I thought of that and I will check!

MartinWake

No not on these roads, but from what angle would I be able to check what you are saying?

MartinWake

When I shake the car up and down the sounds seems to come from the middle but when I am under it sounds more to one side so it could be will have a look!

Also I saw that my car has the strutmasters coil-overs could that be related?

MrTracy

I am not a fan of the coil overs. But I don't anything about them. My S550 had a squeaking problem. When I pushed down on the left or right fender you would hear it; it was the ball joints.

It's a lower ball joint. I had this last month.

Pretty sure that is a ball joint that gave out.

MartinWake

Well today I was driving in the rain and the squeaks stopped and now even after the rain its been dry for a while and no sound anymore but I will still have the ball joints checked out thanks guys

MrTracy

Yup.. It will come back. Just a little moisture in there to temporarily lubricate it.
