Hey folks, recently I started hearing a squeeling sound when i make turns or are slow when going straight. I thought it was the brakes, but i still hear them when I'm not on the brakes. I tried searching but couldnt find anything.

What do you all think i should check? I dont wanna bring it in to the stealerhip and get charged a crap load for something simple. Anyone ever had this problem?

Thanks!

Fan belt, more than likely.

Where is the noise coming from? Front? Back? Driver side or pass side? That may help narrow it down

Hmm. I would say, coming from driver side, but almost hard to tell as im driving.

And i would have never guesse the fan. I dont hear it at high speeds, only low speed turns. Its soo embarassing parking and when im in a garage, its soooo loud.

That's why I say fan belt. I hear a lot of that in garages when the steering pumps kick in. Well not kick in but carry a load.

But the guy above me may be onto something else.

it's not the fan belt.......I am having the same problems....sounds like brakes squeaking or squealing....only does it when turning or low speeds.....had to repair shop twice.....they lubed the calipers......their suggestiong was new brakes and rotors

Mine did this, it ended up being the rust buildup on the edge of the rotor. I cleaned this all off both inside and outside of the rotor with hammer and wire brush and it's been fine since. Could be your prob too.

I just changed my brakes and rotors and I'm hearing the same kind of thing no change. But it's not all the time. Some times it does it sometimes it doesn't

Hmm, ill look into. But my truck doesnt squeel when i brake at low or high speeds.
Ill take a look at my front rotors and brakes.

Yeah, mine is hit or miss. But more hit, and is loud as heck!!



Could it be something in power steering? The fluid is good, but anything i can lube you guys think?

Yeah mine doesn't do it when I break either
