My car's front end squeaks terribly and it is worse when the weather is dry, but when it rains it doesn't squeak at all. I am also hearing a clicking sound in the front end as well.

Inside the span of just 26,000 miles this problem has surfaced twice. The dealership is not aware of the second occurrence yet since it started up since the last scheduled maintenance. There is a Lemon Law in Wisconsin .. hope I don't have to use it !!

PT Cruiser 2.4L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 10,000 miles

The front end of my PT started squeaking in 2007 about a year into ownership. The dealership said it was the front swaybar bushings which they replaced. Now that I am into the second year of ownership the squeaking returned. I took it in for service in June and they said one of the bushings was loose so they tightened everything up and greased it. The squeaking returned 2 weeks later. I'm wondering if it is defective bushings or is there some other underlying problem. Have any other PT owners experienced this squeaking problem and were they able to resolve it.

I don't like to hear squeaks, rattles and vibrations when I am driving.
