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.

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.

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.
