Front end squeaking possible rotor rubbing something.

I have an03 rendezvous with 112,000 miles. I am getting a rubbing sqeaking noise from the left front mostly. It happens when I do a sharp jolt in the front end at low speeds and when I apply the brakes as I stop. The brakes are new, the bearings are fine. It sounds like something rubbing on something but it is a sqeaking sound. The right side is starting to do it as well. Possibly related to the rotors sometimes if on a turn I hear the slightest squeak in unison with the wheel turning.

    One is brand new and it did exactlt the same thing with the old one. The one on the other side is original not warped or hot spots and is just doing it very slightly. There is no other tale tale noises that would indicate a bearing or a flex loint being worn out.

Have you checked the metal clips that olds the brake pads in the front galiper bracket. They usualy rust, break loose and come in contact whit the disc, creating a squeaking noise. Those should be replace since they are needed for the brakes to work properly

04 Buick rendezvous. I changed the brakes and now there's a squeaky noise. What should i check??

Sometimes when you dont use dielectric grease on the little metal plate in the slot the breaks slide into it can cause a squeaking sound. Usually the squeaking noise comes from metal rubbing togeather

Squeaking noise right front ?

not sure what type vehicle we're talking about here, although you can lube up the rack and pinion or grease up your upper, if so equipped, and lower ball joints.

Jeep Cherokee - Sqeaking Undercarriage

If the "sqeak" is more pronoused while going over bumps, then it is most likely a bushing in the front end. Check your fuel tank straps also, they may be loose. Sounds like this are always a pain to locate. Make sure nothing is in the back cargo area. You can also take your foot and shake the exhaust, WHILE THE CAR IS COOLED OFF OF COURSE.
You can also push down on each corner of the vehicle in the front and stand on the rear bumper to try to simulate or isolate the noise. That's all I have for ya. Good luck.

I have a sqeaking noise from the front end. We thought it may be a u-joint, but the service center checked it out and could not find it. U-joints all checked out OK. Located in WI. The colder it gets, the...

Even if the joints appear to be OK, often they run dry and are rusted inside. Unfortunately you cannot see that unless you remove the axle and visually check them out.
You have universal joints in there? I thought they began using c/v joints right around 2000. Check that the brake pad sensors are not hitting the rotors as well that can make a squeaking noise.Before taking anything apart, try to determine which side the noise is on.

2005 chevy Impala brakes sqeak loudly

You brakes are no longer any good. Most times, the squeaking and rubbing noises are caused by brake pad wear, but you say the brakes are fine. Otherwise, if by constant rotation speed you mean the squeaking/rubbing noise is present even when the brakes are not applied, you might want to get the wheel bearing inspected.
also check out -------- The most common would be a loose P/S belt. If it is tight but is still the source, it could be a restriction in the P/S system causing high pressure and resistance in the pump.
