Squeaking / Scraping sound when cold?

Featured Replies

When my car's cold (within the first 2 minutes of driving) any big bumps (think 2-3 inches suspension travel) cause a squeaking or scraping noise from the right front tire. It kind of sounds like the springs in a really old bed, if you were to jump on it. It gets quieter almost right away, and after the car warms up, it goes away completely. I took a look at the tire, and nothing looks out of place.

I'm going to take it in to a dealer tomorrow - hopefully it's under warranty, whatever it is. I was just wondering if anyone here had any idea what it is.

Remember, it's an '05 Cobalt LS coupe.

sounds like a joint that just needs a little more grease

That happened to the Camaro a few months ago... It went away without any type of service.
