Just had a tune up which included a flush of the engine and trans. Now I hear a squiking that sounds like a grocery cart jangle. Does anyone know what this could be and if it's associated with the maintainance I just received which included the plugs replaced and an oil change?

 

Where is the sound coming from? running not running? engine, brakes what? WE need a little more info other wise we will be just guessing

 

the noise is comming from the rear while running and more profound when I pass something. It's like a clacking, but is persistent, only when I hit the gas occasionally.

 

From teh rear? a tune up wouldnt have touched any thing back there other than brake inspection maybe?? If it started after that id bring it back and complain. Mybe a heat sheild?

 

Could it be the fact that it was just flushed and needs to be lubed? I don't know, now I am sick over not trusting them, I figured maybe it was making noise because it was so dirty and now clean it's loose.

 

Flushing the engine and tranny would have nothing to do with the rear of the car. something else is causing it. Like i said if it didnt do it before and it does now id bring it back. the longer you wait the harder it will be for you to get them to do it free of charge as something they did. That and i would look for a different dealer if you dont like/trust that one. Not all dealers are the same

 

did they do a tire rotation? maybe they didn't torque the wheels down all the way??

 

Are you sure you didn't run over something that stuck under the car? I've picked a few sticks out of people's frames that didn't have any clue they were there.

 

no no, actually i have the same problem and cant seem to pinpoint it..and i know it has nothing to do with engine/tranny flush. i just learn to ignore it because i cant seem to find the problem, it comes from the caliper aera

 

Took it to two different places and found that all three mounts broke. Just didn't notice that the front and side were already broken. Assessment was that the rear one broke today.

Getting fixed for 350.00 in Los Angeles.

 

which mounts??? since you siad it was from the rear im guessing its not the engine mounts? People usually dont notice when those go until 2 or all 3 are gone.

 

yea im curious also.. what mounts?
