One thing that bothers me about my car is hearing a high pitch squealing noise when I turn the Steering Wheel. Noises can be an indication of mechanical problems. We deal with a lot of noise issues. Sometimes it requires an Auto Repair Mechanic spending time to Diagnose this problem.
Why Does My Car Squeak Cobb Tire and Auto Repair Greenville SC 29615
There are many reasons for Squeaking Noises. Let’s go over the most common ones. If the noise is occurring when turning the Steering Wheel, the problem may be with the steering System. The Steering System includes the Power Steering Pump, the Steering Rack and Pinion, and the Steering Column. The Chassis and the Suspension can also come into play here.
Why Does My Car Squeak When I Drive Cobb Tire and Auto Repair Greenville SC 29615
We start the Diagnostic Procedure by first Test Driving the car. We want to be sure that we can recreate the noise consistently. The next step is to recreate the noise in our Auto Repair Shop. Once we hear the noise in the shop, we can then use our Shop Testing Tools to isolate the noise and pin it down. Sometimes this requires several Technicians and everyone’s help. A very quiet Service Shop is also needed to help with the Noise Diagnosis. A lot of times we will shut the shop down to make the area as quiet as possible. While we are hearing the squeak from the car, our Technicians will now be able to find the noise. We then make our recommendation to Repair the Car and fix the noise.
Chassis and Suspension Cobb Tire and Auto Repair Greenville SC 29615
Most of the time, we find the cause of the noise to be at the Chassis or the Suspension. Worn out Ball Joints, faulty Control Arm Bushings, and Sway Bar Links, are usually the cause. Worn out Suspension Struts can also be the problem. Replacing these worn components and resetting the Alignment will rid your car of the annoying squeak.
