I'm experiencing a loud squeaking noise upon acceleration. I think the guy i bought the car from had large rims on the car w/o adjusting the suspension, (if that makes sense). Please help!!

 

need to know more about noise

is it from one side of vehicle
front or back

is it all the time
does it stop when braking

do u hear it more going right or left

 

Thanks for your quick reply...

Im hearing the noise in the front, as i hit the gas when pulling off and when i go over speed bumps, etc. i think its mostly coming from the right/passenger side. And the rear only squeaks when i go over these massive speed bumps around the city....

 

by the way, it does stop when i brake, but when i let off the brake i hear it. a friend says its suspension, b/c as i hit the gas, the car lifts and that causes the squeaking but im not 100% sure

 

noise like this is hard to fix like this
but i will try

what u need to do is jack up front of vehicle put on jack stands

run the vehicle and see if the noise is there if so do this

remove left front wheel
remove the left front caliper tie it up out of the way
put the lug nuts back on with out the tire
run vehicle see if u hear the noise
let coast down dont step on brakes

if noise still there do the same on other side

we are basically elimating the brakes from the system

you could have a bearing noise
but that gets louder with speed almost sounds like a jet

we have had a bunch of front mounts go
and they ground out so u feel the car jump back like the enigine was leaving u behind
and it gives off a moan type noise (but all noise is different depends on break)

 

Ok thanks. i'll have my mechanic do just that. hopefully he gets it right...
