jlells01 Posted January 3, 2006 Report Posted January 3, 2006 '95 Lumina w/ 3.1L When accelerating from a stop, a very noticeable creaking noise is emitted from the front-end of the car. It does it just for a second, and I'm thinking it has something to do with the engine mounts (engine rotates backwards when accelerating?). It doesn't usually do it when cold, only after the engine has been running for a little bit and warmed-up. I've tried spraying various lubricants (silicone, white grease, etc, etc..) on the top and bottom mounts, as well as the transmission mount, to no success. Would you have any idea on where this noise is coming from? Thanks for any help. Quote
White93z34 Posted January 3, 2006 Report Posted January 3, 2006 what shape are your balljoints in? Quote
jlells01 Posted January 12, 2006 Author Report Posted January 12, 2006 Balljoints are in good shape. Update - After trying just about everything on the Wal-Mart shelf, I picked up some PB Penetrating Catalyst (more out of curiosity than anything else). After hitting all the mounts in the front of the car, I can say that even after a week or so, and several hundred miles, the noise has not returned as of yet...this is the first product I've tried that has successfully, at least temporarily, eliminated the issue.
