1998 Mercury Sable -Squeal |
|
|
I have 83,000 miles on this car.
When I turn 90 degrees right and
uphill into my driveway I hear a
metal to metal squeal maybe like
a brake drum dragging. Every once
in a while I get slight squeal when
I come to a stop. Two brake places
have found nothing. I am perplexed.
Any help appreciated. Thanks.

You're going to have to get a helper to stand outside the car and try to
localize the sound while you make the turn.

Yea, it sure would help to identify which corner it's coming from. I |
wonder about wheel bearing adjustment. The poster doesn't state that
he's applying the brakes as this happens. Maybe it's a suspension part,
a strut or a bushing.
