My 2007 chevy aveo is making this front-end noise, please help??
Question: the car has 24kmiles on it. When I make turns at low speed like 25 mph and under the front end makes a noise that sounds EXACTLY like an old bed that squeaks or an old squeaky door or chair.
I worked with a guy a while back who had an '05 Chevy Equinox that did the EXACT same thing, but I never followed up with him to see what the problem was and he moved. Any ideas what this might be before I go to the dealer, cause they are horrible and usually don't fix my car or tell me that everything is normal.
Thanks Alot!
Answers: It sounds like a strut/spring issue to me. Take it to a different Chevrolet dealer if the previous dealer is not treating you well. It's under warranty, they have to make it right.
I assume it happens when the wheel is turned fairly sharply, but no noise when going straight? Could be a CV joint in that case. It's unusual for CV joint to fail that quickly, except if the protective boot was damaged and dirt got into the joint. You can probably do a quick visual inspection. Look under your car, on the backside of the wheel hub (the thing holding on the wheel) where the axle meets the wheel hub you'll see a black rubber boot, sort-of cone-shaped. Look at it, run your fingers around it and see if you can feel any rips or tears, or see if it is in any way loose around the fittings (it will have clamps holding it on at each end). Good luck. Ahh, the joys of a car built by Daewoo...
If it was a CV joint then it would clack clack clack really loudly. Sounds like a suspension issue. Sometimes the shocks are just stiff when they are new. Regardless find someone else to look at your car. You're paying good money and deserve to have your questions answered to your satisfaction.
Good luck!
its your springs they need to be rotated in the seat. its a rubber seat they need to be rotated and the seats need white lithium grease on them there is a GM bullitn on that im a tech here in san antonio and like a previous guy said if thier not ansering ur questions go some were else where i work its 90 bucks an hour so go some where else hope i was some use to you
