I have a 1998 Chevy Blazer LS. It's 4 door and 4 wheel drive. I'm not to good in the mechanics part
Right under the front driver side(near the tire) there is an obsessive squeaking that happens even when I back up, hit any smallest bump or just accelerate. I hear this is a problem in a lot of Blazers. My friends Jimmy also does this.
I've completely soaked the underneath with Wd40 looking for it and still no luck. Made sure to spray the bushing also. It's driving me crazy!
Can anyone tell me what it is and how to fix it?

 

Does it squeak in relation to how fast you are going? When you go over bumps? Does it still squeak when the brakes are applied?

 

Ohhh... I listen to that squeek for 2 months straight. Like you i couldn't figure it out till it went to the garage. They wanted $600 to replace the A-frame bushings. Ya right... I took my grease gun and put a small nipple on it and lubed it till it was covered. Haven't heard it since.

 

It usually only squeaks when going under about 35 and yes especially over bumps. And no I don't think its the brakes.

Did you say the A-Frame Bushings?

 

does it do it if you just shake the vehicle or push down on the front of it?

 

Ya if I push down even an inch on the front you hear a suuuuper high pitched squeak. I have no clue what is. I've been hearing it's the bushings but idk.

 

I'm having the same issue, did you find a resolve?

 

Mine squeaks too! My lower control arm bushings are shot all cracked and some of the rubber is even missing. Going to tackle this one on my next project.

 

yea,had the same problem myself with my 99 blazer. replaced all bushings and well if u dont keep them well greased it well squeak.replaced ball joints too they s--k.bought them at autozone.didnt know they were bad until i had the mechanic look at them and told they s---.

 

Was it a PITA to do? Did you rent the bushing press tool or take it to a mechanic to have it done? I need to do this soon and will probably just do it myself. Not looking forward to this one. There is a youtube video on how to removing the lower ball joints and its similar to the lower control arm I guess. Thanks everyone for there useful information and wish me luck!
