Where could the squeak be coming from?
Permalink  

When your driving theres a loud squeak that sounds like its coming from the front end. Its fairly loud. Doesnt really do it much when braking or in reverse. 

Now all the brakes were redone, ball joints, center link. 

Any ideas?

I had squeaks in the upper control arm bushings, still hear it occasionally.

Can you make it squeak if you bounce the front end when it's parked? As Steve says, the control arm bushings is a good spot to start the hunt on B bodies.

 No squeaks at all when doing that.. just in drive?

and not only when turning, but when driving straight as well?

Sway bar bushings? Bad motor mounts? Spring mount top or bottom? Does it do this when driving slowly as well as at highway speed?

If your car has full wheel covers, I have had them make noise when going slowly. It was worse with radial tires. If you remove the wheel covers the noise will go away if its the cause.

Yes, when I get back there, maybe on the weekend do a video of the car. I should have done that in the first place before putting it back wink

Just remembered, and this may be a real long shot, but I had a high pitched random squeak only when running and the culprit was the fuel line clip on the frame near the right motor mount.  A little bending - tweaking fixed it.
