- Loose brake components: If the disc brake calipers or pads have become loose or worn out, the resulting friction can cause a squeaking noise.
- Glazed brake pads: If your brake pads develop a hard, shiny glazed surface, it may cause a continuous squeaking noise when applied.
2. Wheel Bearings:
- Lack of lubrication: Worn or dry wheel bearings can result in a high-pitched squealing sound when the car reaches certain speeds.
- Damaged bearing: A faulty or damaged wheel bearing due to excessive wear or impact can also produce a continuous squealing noise.
3. Suspension Components:
- Worn-out bushings or ball joints: If the rubber bushings or ball joints in your suspension become old and worn, they can develop play, leading to a squeaking sound.
- Loose or damaged shock absorber mounts: If the mounts that hold your shock absorbers are not secure or are beginning to fail, they can cause a squeaking noise.
4. Serpentine Belt:
- Belt misalignment: If the belt is not properly aligned with the pulleys, especially the tensioner pulley, it may produce a squeaking or squealing noise.
5. Power Steering System:
- Low power steering fluid: Insufficient or dirty power steering fluid can affect the system's performance, resulting in a continuous squeaking sound when turning the steering wheel.
It is important to note that identifying the exact cause of a continuous squeaking sound from the front of your car may require inspection by a qualified mechanic or technician. If the sound persists, it is best to have your vehicle checked to ensure safe and proper operation.
