Have a bit of a squeeking noise come from the front of my AU3,originally thought it be the struts because to me sounds like a shagged strut,but i put in some other struts and the noise is still there,any ideas where it could be coming from?.
Im thinking maybe sway bar rubbers or engine mount. But the strange thing is it gets alot worse and seems to appear when the air cons on. It sounds exactlty like rubber rubbing against something (not the tyres,its certainly a suspension problem).Ive had someone push up and down on the front of the car when its stationary but no noise. Any idea whould be great,it gets pretty annoying hearing it. |

if it get noiser as the car has the A/C on its possible the A/C compressor is causing the noise could also be like a belt tensioner or belt idler they squeek on load when the bearings are starting to go out but they will squeek all the time when once the bearings are getting f**k
could be a bearing on something thats just starting to go out put the car in drive and hold the brake down just enough to make the motor have to work hard to move and see if it squeeks ull be doing a slow speed and if it does squeek its not the suspension also u sure its not your brakes ?

Any idea whould be great,it gets pretty annoying hearing it. Check that the Lower Control arm bolts are tight, and then check sway bar mount bolts. Also check the sway bar bushes.
