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. |

i came across a ZH fairlane that had a squeek in the engine bay somewhere it sounded like loose exhaust flanges , turned out the heater hoses where rubbing against each other when the engine moved/rocked, some cable ties all fixed, i was also thinking water pump and or belt tensioner pulley, possibly alternator? front brakes .wheel bearings?
