I have a "metal" sounding squeak coming from the drivers side suspension area. 3 total trips to service depts between 2 dealerships and the thing is still making noise. It seems to be a more frequent sound over the last few weeks. I can reproduce the sound by bouncing the drivers side, so I guess I'll be looking into that over the weekend before I bring it BACK to the dealer again on Tuesday. Any suggestions? I'm hoping to bring the Kat to WI for our lunch and cruise on Sunday but if it keeps up I dont think I want to drive the prowler. |

See if all the bolts and nuts are tight on the braces that run at an angle from underneath the transmission outward towards the frame just near the front of the rear tires. These are the braces I am so poorly referring to.

Thanks guys, I'll check out those other squeak prone areas. Its very possible the sound is throwing itself from under the car and just sounds like its coming from the drivers side. |

Mine had the same thing a couple of years ago - sounded like it was coming from under the car. Bought some heavy white grease and greased the hood hinges, that took care of the problem. Good luck. T |

will be taking the trailblazer to ricks and then riding shotgun with him.....please pray for me ahead of time. You all can drive your cars cross country with squeaks and rattles if you want. I'll get mine fixed rather than break down in WI and have some stupid part take 2 months to arrive. |
