terryb52 Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 You guys have really helped in the past...hope you can come thru again. I have a 92 auto wagon that has started squealing squeaking at all speeds. It kind of sounds like it is coming from the passenger side, not sure if front or rear. Not when I apply brakes. All belts were replaced 2 years ago. Water pump at the same time. I am doing a short road trip Wed. and need to know if I should be concerned and take it in before I go. Also doing a long road trip in August. Will get a trip check before that. Any likely suspects spring to mind?? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigMattyD Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 I would check the brakes first. I drove around in my wife's car trying to diagnose the squeal I heard for a few weeks while the rotors were being destroyed by my worn pads. I thought it wasn't the brakes because it would stop on braking. Well, I was wrong. Check that, then think about other stuff, bearings, etc. Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kilroy Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 Does it squeal/squeak while idling as well? If so, you may have a loose belt. I realize you mentioned the belts were replaced 2 years ago, but that is plenty of time for one of them to start slipping. Also, what Matt said.....

BigMattyD Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 Does all speeds include zero, or did you mean only when the car is rolling? I guess that would be the first question to ask... matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess that would be the first question to ask... matt only when the car is rolling. I will get the brakes checked. Just had the fronts done not too long ao. However, time goes by really fast and that may have been longer ago than I remember! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tcspeer Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 If the suggestions you got already dont find your problem you might want to check the u- joints on the drive shaft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burmzie Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 only when the car is rolling. I will get the brakes checked. Just had the fronts done not too long ao. However, time goes by really fast and that may have been longer ago than I remember! I had the same problem happen to me right after I did the brakes. What I found was that the tabs that hold the pad in the caliper were a smidge to big, causing the pads to rest against the rotor ever so slightly. I took a pass with a grinder on each of the tabs. Seems to be okay. I was told by our local parts store that this is common. I have never heard of it. But the long and short of it is my problem was that the tabs on the pad were too big. A simple shave has solved the problem. Hope this helps. Lane:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
