1997 Q45 y33- rear squeaking/ chirping noise
Hello everyone,
I have a 1997 q45 and I recently developed a squeaking/ chirping noise coming front the rear passenger side wheel. Usually happens when ive been driving around a while, over time the noise starts, and happens under 30mph.. At first I thought it was the rear brake pad indicator but that wasn't the case.. Still had some life before it would hit the warning. But replaced the rear brakes anyways. I noticed the hardware.. Or one of brackets / clips was broken and moving in place while the brake pads were still in.. Well I replace the pads and hardware., drove around and it seemed to have fixed the problem.. Then a few miles later the squealing noise came back.. Now I'm looking into the suspension pieces... Probably gonna try to put some wd 40 or some silicone lube.. But I'm wondering if anyone had this problem before? Maybe someone can enlighten me or point me in the right direction before I go crazy and take the car apart.. Any help is appreciated.. Thanks

Hahaha hopefully soon... It's still making sounds... Changed out the rotors as well.. Used power lube on all suspension pieces... Now im thinking its the axle...

I have the same issue, it gets worse. It is either the bearing or part of the axle. Haven't had the time and motivation to pull it apart. Let me know if you figure it out.

Yah I feel it might be the bearing but its not a consistent chirp or squeak.. It does get louder when making a right turn.. I'm just going to replace all the bushings and wheel bearing I one pop.. Might as well..

Mine gets louder when making a left turn. And yea I kinda ruled out the bearing since it isn't constant too. I just don't have the time to take it to the shop or take it apart because of work, and I have no back-up car

Yah same here... I was leaning towards it being a bad bushing either on the upper control arms or traction arms.. Can't be sure till I pull it apart..
