Car is a 1996 Chevrolet Cavalier Sedan.Symptoms: -Turning left at low-medium speeds causes constant squeaking.-Straightening out the wheels lessens the intensity, but left with a less intense ‘squeak, squeak, squeak‘ that goes with the rotation of the wheel.-braking alters the sound of the squeak, but does not always squeak - sometimes it goes away.-periodically, squeaking occurs, then disappears for a few minutes, then reoccurs.-‘squeaking‘ like a metal-on-metal soundAny thoughts? Brakes? Bearings? I really haven‘t a clue. thanks!
If it is a squeak my guess is that your brake pads have worn down to the pad warning, a small metal tab that rubs on the disc to alert you to worn pads. A bad bearing is also a possibility though. In either case you need to get it checked out immediately to avoid even more costly repairs. Let the brakes go to long and you could tear up and ruin your brake disc. Let a bad bearing go and you could tear up your front end. If the squeak disappears sometimes when braking then my best guess would be you need new brake pads.
It is a mechanical impossibility for the front axles to make any noise on your car. The CV joints can click in corners or hum straight ahead but a solid splined axle shaft can't squeak. Have you taken time to inspect your brake calipers, brake pads, anti-vibration shims, pad anti rattle clips, brake slide pins. Bad wheel beatings will roar like a freight train, louder and you drive faster.
Get your vehicle on a develop and wiggle each and every of the suspension areas. If some thing feels unfastened, replace it. verify each and every of the bushings, CV joints, and so on. what style of motor vehicle do you have? BTW, it may additionally be a wheel bearing. if so, get is replaced ASAP. using on a bad bearing is undesirable joojoo.
