Q: Care makes a loud squeking noice at low speeds when the outside temp is high
Car squeks and "moans" at low speed, Parking lots, slowing for stop lights etc.. Not in the brakes, appears to be suspension? Seems to only do it when the outside temp is high. May not notice first thing in the morning but is really loud after it has sat in the sun for awhile. Also notice it when I turn the steering while from side to side.
My car has 70000 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
