I took my Chrysler Sebring 2001 in to the shop because of a squeling noise coming from my front left wheel. I got four new rotors and four new brake pads and a new tire rod (in the front left wheel). They also said i needed to replace the struts but with the cost of the brakes, rotors, tire rod, and another repair to the oil pan gasket and sending unit I said i would hold off.

Though when i drove the car away the squealing noise is still there in the front left wheel. Question is could the bad struts still be causing the squeal? It doesn't squeal when I bounce only when the tire is turning. The actual bounce in the struts is not that bad. Should I take it back and get the struts done or could something else be causing the squeal.

 

I would suspect the hub bearing long before the struts. Bad struts don't squeal from tire rotation. Of course, pulling out the hub bearing requires about half the work necessary to pull a strut, so if you're going to have the hub bearing fixed, you could consider having the struts done too, but it's a big expense on top of the bearing.
Before you continue to throw parts at this thing though, you should find a better shop that will hunt down the noise and fix what needs fixing. Not to say you didn't need those other things (by the way, it's called a tie rod) but they have failed to fix what you brought it in to be fixed.

 

Thx for the reply. I will not be taking it back there because the quoted me one thing and i paid another. It was a tie rod I read it wrong on my work order. I have a better place to take it but i figured I'd chance this place because it was closer to where i live. Thanks for the help.
