Diagnostic Aids
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 GMC Safari and 2003 Chevrolet Astro. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
A loose or incorrect installation of a body component, a suspension component, or other items of the vehicle may cause the squeal noise.
If the noise is intermittent verify the accessory drive components by varying their loads. Ensure the accessory components are operated to their maximum capacity. An overcharged A/C system or power steering system with: a pinched hose, an incorrect fluid, or a failed generator are suggested items to inspect.
