Why do my struts squeak?

Squeaking struts can be caused by a variety of factors.

Often times struts are found to be worn or have dry mounts. These are the rubber components that can wear out over time. Many times, you may find that the bushing and joints in the suspension system may require lubrication. If they become dry, they can generate a squeaking noise. Through time the bearings in the struts can become worn or damaged as well. The cars suspension has a role in the life of the struts. If you are having issues with the vehicle’s suspension it can cause the struts to deteriorate quicker. Suspension in the vehicle is properly aligned will help from uneven wear on the struts. With regular maintenance, including lubricating suspension components and inspecting for wear can help prevent suspension issues to keep your vehicle balanced.

If you’re experiencing squeaking struts, it is best to have your vehicle inspected by a qualified mechanic. They can perform a thorough examination to identify the specific cause of the noise and recommend the appropriate repairs or replacements.
