  • Loud squeal when turning or hit a bump, 97 gt

    driver side front, whenever turn or hit a bump to jar car around it is a terrible loud squeal. Is it a bushing of some sort? or could it be a number of them?

      What kind of car? strut bearings can do that when you turn the wheel.

          Tie rod end most likely, sounds like a really high pitch creaky door hinge?

            Does it do it when you're turning the wheel while sitting still?

              Jack the car up with no load on suspension and check it out.

                change previous answer. Went to car and yes sitting still rotating the wheel results in squeals. then also whenever any extra pressure is applied, IE a bump of ANY sort it also happens.

                  You need to get someone under the car when you're turning the wheel and see if you can get a general location of where it's coming from. Like Sleeper suggested, getting the car on a lift will help, but you can still locate it's general area and see if you have problems even if it's loaded. Usually strut tower bearings pop or grind when you turn the wheel, you can hear them when the hood is open pretty easily. But, it may very well be something other than that given your description.

                              easy for me, without knowing your experience, could be anywhere from hour or so job - days in the hospital and rehab.
