front end squaking noise on 86 brat

Featured Replies

Hello, i am dealing with a loud squaking noise coming from the drivers side front end. it happens while driving and while stationary. If i push down on the front end drivers side it makes the noise. i originally thought it was the strut, and so i replaced the struts, and the noise is the same. i have replaced the lower ball joints, tie rods, drive shafts, and inner and outer wheel bearings on both sides. i am thinking that maybe it is a control arm or leading rod issue. any help will be appreciated. thanks

You might try to lube the rubber parts on the front end. Try liquid dish soap and water. If this works use something suitable for rubber that wont destroy the rubber component.

Could be the swaybar too.

 

Put the front wheels up on some car ramps, and have someone bounce the BRAT while you listen for source of squeek.
