Why does your car squeak in the rear when you go over a bump or go from parked position to either reverse or forward?
The squeak is your tires losing traction on the pavement. Prominent in rear wheel drive cars.
How do I lubricate the front end of my 1997 Crown Victoria so that it doesn't squeak so much every time I turn or hit a bump?
Sounds like you may have a ball joint going out on the front of your car, you need to take a look and see if any of them are showing wear or cracks. If they are, they need to be replaced.
What causes a squeak from the right front wheel well?
More info: '97 Honda, the right front tire was recently patched by a tire shop. Squeak occurs when the car bounces on bumps, holes, rough road.
What causes the car to squeak when driving and the road is rough - does not squeak when raining only dry conditions?
The car may need new brakes or tires because they might be wearing down.
If a car bumps another car in the back from behind then what is the part that gets damaged called?
How hard a bump are we talking about and which car do you refer to? If it's only a slight bump then each car will probably only have damage to its bumper (fender in the US). But a harder smack may damage the radiator shell or even the radiator itself on the rear car and the boot (trunk) of the front car. A very hard smack might even damage the chassis of one or both cars.
What would cause squealing or squeaking on or near the rear wheel on a 1999 Subaru Forester?
Can you give more detail? Is it squeak, squeak, squeak or squeeeeeeek? I'm assuming that it only occurs when the car is moving. Does putting the brakes on make it change? --Ken It does make squeeeeek sound when car is moving and putting brakes on does change it.
What would cause squeaking in a fairly new car during acceleration?
Squeaking can be heard on any vehicle new or not. But sometimes when a car squeaks the brakes are bad or going bad. Other times the brakes may be new, like on a new car and sometimes old ones, the brand of brake pads may be bad. When you get your brakes replaced, they are suppose to add some grease that comes in the brake package. There is a small thing on the brake pads that will squeak and rub and make noise when the pads get low. That way you will know it is time to change them, if you let it get that far. Other causes of squeaks could be shocks. If they go bad, your car can squeak and creek. You can check if your car is parked and brakes are on. Turn off your car too. Then go to the front of the car and mash up and down on the front of the car or back of car. If the car bounces freely, then your shocks are bad or going bad. Other squeaks can be drive belts loose or too tight. There are a number of things that can cause a car to squeak. Listen from where the sound is coming from. Is it in front, back, left side, right side? Is it a long squeal or squeak squeak squeak? Do it happen when you first go and stop? All this can help you or your mechanic pinpoint the source of the squeak. Remember, just because a part is new, that does not mean it is good. That goes for any product, especially electrical stuff, that is why most places will not accept returns on electrical product, coz they go bad lost of times. A squeak under acceleration could also be a universal joint going bad.
How to Jack up the Previa?
The jack is under the passenger seat. Under the car, just behind the front wheel and just in front of the back wheel are locations that are convex shaped with a circular "bump out". You put the "cup" of the jack around that bump out and then use the jack handle to operate the jack and lift the car. Besure to do this only on a level surface and don't crawl under the car without a secondary safety support incase the jack fails.
