Pontiac Repair: 1998 pontiac sunfire 2.2L front end squeak., pontiac sunfire, wheel bearing


Question
My Sunfire has been making a squeak in the front left of the car, It squeaks while accelerating, and whenever it needs to push the engine, like going up hill. I have also started to notice that when taking a left turn it makes a slight grinding noise along with the squeak. I really hope you can help i have no idea whats wrong. Thank you very much for your help.

Answer
Hi Josh:

does the noise only happen on acceleration or over bumps as well. If it's only on acceleration it may bee a bad engine or trans mount. If it does it over bumps and while turning it could be a strut or strut mount. As for the grindin noise it can be a Wheel bearing or a outter cv joint does it make in on a hard turn or on a slight sweeping turn?
