If your car squeaks when driving but not braking or you hear a grinding noise while driving but not while stopping, it points to something wrong with your steering system, suspension, or brakes. Luckily, most of these issues are not going to cause serious problems if you repair them soon, and they should be relatively easy for a mechanic to repair. In this article, we’ll break down the potential causes of these sounds and explain how to fix it so that you can get your car back in tiptop shape.

Expert Q&A
Tips
- A faulty alternator, loose fan belt, vacuum leak, and worn-out cambelt can all cause squeaking noises while you’re driving but not braking, although you’ll notice more intense symptoms that are likely to take precedence over the squeaking for all of these issues. You may have a check engine light, smoke, trouble starting the vehicle, or other major issues running the vehicle.Thanks
