Hi again all. This is my second thread reagrding my 2002 Sebring LXI I purchased last week. This forum has been most helpful and I'm eliminating little issues one at a time thanks to you all,

One final (for now.ha ha) issue. When going over a bump. I'm getting what I'd decribe as a rubber to rubber creaking sound in the right front. I'll push up and down on right front fender and get the sound but can't quite narrow it down. Wondering if this is a common issue and I know it could be a multitude of things. Strut grommet? Control arm bushing? I'll stick my head right down in the wheel well but can't pin point the location! Thanks

 

Try spraying soapy water (not oil) on the bushings one at a time to see if you can isolate the noise that way.

 

Great idea. I'll give it a whirl!

 

Well, one at a time I sprayed the strut bushings, all the bushing points of the upper and lower control arm with no squeek stoppage. I'm thinking possibly the motor mount but.....who knows. Not terribly distracting so I think I'll just let it slide.....That was a great tip and thanks! Must be something else.

 

I have a 2002 sebring convertible, and the front driver-side wheel started squeaking on hard right turns at about 25 mph or greater, as well as over bumps. The squeaking does not occur on left turns nor when the car is not moving. The squeaking has become noticeably more frequent over the last few weeks. Any thoughts on what to do?

Thanks


sounds like an alignment issue

 

Might be a wheel bearing. Pretty hard to diagnose strange noises over the internet.
