my squeaky car help
 
my mustang seems to squeak from the front passenger side. usually squeaks when im going over speed bumps and when i turn the wheel side to side. its lowered and the person i bought it off said it might be some bushing cause over time a lowered car will f them up. sometimes the noise goes away when i spray the wheel well with water. any idea what it might be?

Worn upper and or lower spring isolator. Worn sway bar mount bushing, worn sway bar endling bushing(s). Worn A-Arm Bushings. Worn upper strut rubber bushing. Thats pretty much the options, if you cannot visually determine the culprit simply spray silicone on each part one by one till the squeak goes away and you have caught the bandit.

one shop is saying its coming from the ball joints the other one is saying its coming from the control arm bushings :S

i have a squeak that is loud when i shut any of the doors. sounds like front passenger area kind of, but when i do it on the drivers side it seems loud also

ended up getting the ball joints replaced and it did the trick. old ones were rusting and moving up and done a lot.

Ahh you should of said there was play and the wheel because then its easy to pinpoint the issue.

im a newb and i couldnt tell if it had play or not lol so i went to a third shop and they said come look at your ball joint on the left side. it was torn, rusted and almost coming out of the socket. he said that one more big hit to the tire and it would have broke :0 thanks anyways
