What parts need replacement? 2006 Hyundai Sonata. I took it to a mechanic and they said the struts need to be replaced. The struts have been replaced, but the squeaking continues. It makes lots of noise (like rubber rubbing up against rubber sound) when I hit bumps. I also hear something a bit loose like a tick noise. The squeak is loud and annoying.The car almost has 60,000 miles.
The rubber boot on the strut is rubbing. Sometimes you can quiet this with some silicone grease or spray. It will go away after a while when the boot wears in.
Hi so it had the struts changed what about the bushes in the suspension arms and all the other bearing bushes not been replaced yet. it would need to be as they wear out too so it may get expensive to cure the squeak.
Sounds like it could be either body noise bushings or rubber suspension system bushings. At sixty thousand miles the car really shouldn't need ball joints or struts. To help eliminate the squeaking noises lubricate all rubber bushings with a liquid silicon or liquid graphite spray. Never lubricate any rubber parts with anything other than liquid silicone or liquid graphite spray as petroleum products are very detrimental towards rubber.
