Rear tire chirp when going around corners, over uneven surfaces.

[Brian Jordan]

Anyone else having this issue? Only when going around corners going into/coming out of a driveway, or over rougher road surfaces I get a "chirp" from the back tires. I rotated the wheels the other day and also notice an abnormally high measure of wear on the inner portion of the tire tread.

Is this a common occurrence with the IRS set up n the 3rd and 4th Gen models, or am I experiencing other issues? The rear suspension seems "tight" and with the tire off the ground at least, there didn't seem to be any slop in the rear wheel bearings, or suspension components?

What gives? What should I be looking for? Is it simply in need of an alignment, or is there a worn suspension component I'm missing, not easily found with your basic circle check?

Could be your struts. They don’t always get sloppy when worn out. Also could be your sway bar links. I would get your alignment checked first for sure though. A lot of places around here will do it for free. If the alignment and sway bar links are solid I’d bet on struts.

I get the same noise when its a right hand turn from an uneven road or if the road had been sealed with the stuff they use in a parking lot. And i just had an alignment done. Every thing in the rear of my car is original. Also if you have any unusual tire wear you need an alignment and dont wait to long.
