Help!!! Emergency!! A Squeak!!!!

dgt_mustang · January 3rd, 2008, 07:04 PM

i was driving down the road today and out of no where a squeaking sound starts coming from somewhere around the steering wheel, its like when the car flexes or something the squeak happens, its not constant, its like when i go over bumps, and its coming from the inside of the car, i got my head closer to the steering wheel thinking its coming from that but as i got closer i heard it coming from above me on the sunvisor, but its not coming from there, theres nothing up there, if i move the steering wheel left then right a bunch of times you can hear it happen, if anyone has had something like this, let me know, the sound its completely annoying, i cant turn the music up to get rid of it because thats not me and its not fixing the problem, please help before i blow the car up!!!

how is a squeak emergent?

Start by checking your bushings on your suspension for wear and tear.

dgt_mustang · January 3rd, 2008, 07:27 PM

because the sound is completely and utterly annoying, like its just so........

, yeah its like that but what bushings you talking about it?

dgt_mustang · January 3rd, 2008, 07:28 PM

the sound is defrinetly coming from the inside of the car, definetly, its not from the outside.

HMUSN · January 3rd, 2008, 07:32 PM

pull the wheel and look at the bushings.
you know what bushings look like right?

dgt_mustang · January 3rd, 2008, 07:35 PM

kinda sorta......you think that could really be it though? whenever i tried to get closer to the sound it started to come from a different area, its one of those sounds, the best thing i could think of was that it was coming from the dashboard somewhere.

Take it to a mechanic. and have them look at.

MWWarlord · January 3rd, 2008, 07:38 PM

+1 how is this an emergency? It's not like your car is about to explode. We're more than happy to help you out, but you don't need to make it seem like the world is about to end because of a squeak.

I agree

dgt_mustang · January 3rd, 2008, 07:40 PM

the world will end because of this squeak, apparently you dont know how annoying it is to hear it and not be able to find out where its at, or even close to where its at. probably mechanic if i mess around under there and cant accomplish anything.

dgt_mustang · January 3rd, 2008, 07:46 PM

what do you call the plastic piece on the outside of the car that is beneath the windshield, and underneath the wiper arms?? i noticed it was broken while i was trying to find this squeak.

dgt_mustang · January 3rd, 2008, 08:06 PM

whered everybody go?

HMUSN · January 3rd, 2008, 08:08 PM

I ate them.

(i'll look to see what the part is called)

MustanG_guy17 · January 3rd, 2008, 08:09 PM

HMUSN · January 3rd, 2008, 08:15 PM

it's called a cowl panel.
it sits on top of your firewall panel.

dgt_mustang · January 3rd, 2008, 08:18 PM

sweet, gotta find one of those now, cause i dont want this one to start cracking through. as for the squeaking i geuss imma fool around under there and see if the sound stops, if it doesnt, i geuss no choice but the mechanic.

dgt_mustang · January 3rd, 2008, 08:21 PM

i dont suppose anyone knows a good place to search for the cowl panel?? i already tried 50resto.com nothing there, i figure most of the performance places wouldnt have this part, considering its not a usual thing....

dgt_mustang · January 3rd, 2008, 08:34 PM

im thinkin salvage now cause i cant find it anywhere.
