If you&#8217;ve ever been driving and noticed odd knocking or squeaking sounds coming from the front of your car, this could be a sign of something much more serious on the horizon. Fear not; here at Carville&#8217;s Auto Mart, we&#8217;ve compiled a list of all the probable causes for your model to start knocking or squeaking, as well as how to get the problem remedied!<span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><!--more--><\/p>\n<h3>Common reasons for knocking and squealing from your vehicle&#8217;s suspension<span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Your vehicle&#8217;s suspension is made up of several different components that help absorb shocks, brake, and turn. If you hear a knock or other odd sounds coming from below, the culprit is usually one of three parts of your system \u2013 your tie bar, ball joints or sway bar. All three of these can wear out with enough use, which could lead to some serious issues including total loss of steering control.\u00a0<span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dealerfireblog.com\/carvillesautomart\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/388\/2018\/06\/Mechanic-working-on-suspension_b.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1480\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dealerfireblog.com\/carvillesautomart\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/388\/2018\/06\/Mechanic-working-on-suspension_b.jpg\" alt=\"Mechanic working on vehicle suspension system in shop\" width=\"1000\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/70\/2018\/06\/23084752\/Mechanic-working-on-suspension_b.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/70\/2018\/06\/23084752\/Mechanic-working-on-suspension_b-300x90.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/70\/2018\/06\/23084752\/Mechanic-working-on-suspension_b-768x230.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>You&#8217;ll usually be able to tell if these parts are going bad\u00a0easily; we&#8217;ve listed some of the most common issues below:\u00a0<span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul style=\"font-weight: 400\">\n<li data-leveltext=\"\uf0b7\" data-font=\"Symbol\" data-listid=\"1\" data-aria-posinset=\"1\" data-aria-level=\"1\">Check your tire tread; if it&#8217;s not wearing out evenly, there might be a problem with your alignment that usually stems from an ineffective suspension system.\u00a0<span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233279&quot;:true,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li data-leveltext=\"\uf0b7\" data-font=\"Symbol\" data-listid=\"1\" data-aria-posinset=\"2\" data-aria-level=\"1\">If you&#8217;re hearing humming or grinding sounds when turning, your tie bar might be starting to wear out as well.
