Squeaking noise!

coopz · 07-05-2003

I hear a squeaking noise when I go over bumps and sometimes when my car is running in neutral I will hear this chirping/squeaking noise and I would really like to get rid of it. I have a '95 5.0 5 speed. I do not know if it is the ball joints, tie rods, sway bar, strut brace and I am having a hard time finding out. Any advice is appreciated. Coop.

Pressure wash the underside, then grease all the bushings.
Use marine grease (whiteish in color) lasts forever.

Some bushings might be getting old too, so look for cracks in them and replace if needed.

I do not have the strut tower brace on my mustang because I had a 3.8 and had the 5.0 installed. Would this make a difference? Coop.

Coopz, get down at the rear wheel and pull on the emergency brake cables on both sides. Then when it squeeks (really more of a creaking sound) pressure wash it and hit the inside of the brakets with grease. The shielding on the e-brake cable gets worn through over time once it's worn enough it slips around even more and causes that creaking noise.

If it's not that then what GTRaptor said
