I have been trying to save up to get some new springs and struts, and then all of these squeeks started happening. I transport alot of people in this car (up to 6 people sometimes). i was just wondering if anyone could recognise the problems related with these.
1. A squeek comming from under the hood, this one is new and starts and stops randomly. It kinda sounds like a belt, but i though that would be a continuous sound. 2. The driver side front wheel (as far as i can tell) makes a noise while im going over 30 mph, its kinda faint, and almost sounds like a ball rolling around with water in it. 3. When i go over large bumps there is a large sqeeky noise that wasnt there before a week or so ago, and it kinda sounds like an old truck goin over a large bump Any help is apreshated. -dave -------------------- 0111011001101001011100110111001101101001

not sure what the cure is for your squeeking problems... but i know if you lower this car and still plan on transporting up to six people... there will be more problems down the road, and i would really be surprised if you could get that many people in the car without scraping/rubbing constantly over bumps

Besides the fact that you are illegally cramming up to 6 people into a car that is meant for 4, Celicas are only meant to carry 800lbs, so when you "somtimes" carry up to 6 people you are really putting a strain on the suspension.
1. Squeaks under the hood might be a shock or maybe a strut mount? I'm not sure if a strut mount squeaks, but it is my guess. 2. Not too sure 3. Squeaks going over bumps might be bad shocks. -------------------- 1991 MR2 - T-tops - Crimson Red - Gen3 3SGTE - Lots of money

The one under the hood can be herd when the car is still, I believe that the struts are bad and thats whats causing it over bumps.
I read some stuff and i was wondering if it could be a wheel bearing for the secound one? Yea, i know its illegal, but its either that get in my car, or they dont go to auto tech and fix there own cars. One of them just bought a 69 f100 ranger with a 390 in it, ima try to get him to drive. -------------------- 0111011001101001011100110111001101101001
