About a month ago, i started hearing squeaking noises coming from under the car, but it wasn't loud, so it didn't really bother me

but in the last week, the squeaking has gotten unbearable, the more i drive the car, the louder it gets...as in if i go for long drive, the squeaking gets louder n louder, the further i drive.
the squeak sounds like some metal parts are rubbing together.
I hate the f#$#$)*$#* NOISE...I HATE IT..


Alright let me give you some background info about the my car

i have had this car for about a yr now
i have gotten into one big accident, which happened about 3 months ago, I hydroplaned on the Merritt Parkway and did a 360 and ramped on to guard rail.. the door, the front bumper, hood, the headlight, the side panel and few other things had to be replaced...i think they replaced the suspension too

I also live in Boston, the roads in Boston suck, wayyyyy too many pot holes, so i do bottom out a lot..

i did get it checked by the local dealer few days ago, they don't really know where the squeaking if coming from, they seem clueless....
So i am kinda helpless right now,
my guess could be way off.but i think its . Either the suspension is loose, or the some part under my car is hanging...

i just want to get rid of this annoying noise,

any suggestions would be really appreciated.


Thanks

kindbud sorry I don't really have an answer for you but I was curious to see if your car was dropped any? I live in Boston too and am looking to drop my G but if your bottoming out without a dropped G I might have to reconsider.

na dude
its stock, i do drive around with like 3 other friends in the car most of the time so that lowers the car.
i would never ever consider dropping my car in a city..or for that matter putting a body kit..

Does your car squeak even on smooth roads or is it just on rough roads that it squeaks (when the suspension being used heavily)?

Run the car on a dyno, get down low and use a high-powered flashlight with a handheld mirror and (carefully) try to see what's going on underneath.

it squeks a lil bit on smooth roads, but the squeking gets real load on rough roads...like unbearably loud

Obviously I can't figure out what's going on without looking at your car, but based on what you've said, if I were a bettin' man, I'd say that your problem is in one of the the control arms or in the bushing at the end of it. Control arms are notoriously likely to be bent in a wreck/ collision, or the bushing on the end gets cracked. And that would cause squeaking that varied in intensity depending on how bumpy the road is, like you've said.

If that's the case, then you should replace/ fix it before it damages your shocks or other suspension parts. Tell the same people who fixed it the first time that it wasn't done right and see what they can do for you.

I had a Dodge Stealth back in 1998 and I got rear-ended by a streetcar. After that the car was never the same, I had squeaks, leaks and one headache after another. Finally I sold it and said good riddance.
How's that for cheering you up?? ;-)
