My 2015 Nissan Versa is making squeaky sound while driving

A squeaky sound coming from underneath your 2015 Nissan Versa Note, even with low mileage, can be worrisome. While it's difficult to pinpoint the exact problem without a physical inspection, I can suggest some potential causes based on your description and the symptoms:
Possible reasons:
Worn suspension bushings: These rubber parts connect various suspension components and can dry out or develop cracks over time, resulting in squeaking when they move.
Loose sway bar links: These control bars aid in stabilizing your car during turns and can become loose, leading to clunking or squeaking noises.
Loose or worn-out serpentine belt: This belt drives various accessories such as the alternator and power steering pump. When it's worn or loose, it can produce a squealing sound, particularly when starting or accelerating.
Dry or worn CV axle boots: These rubber boots protect the CV joints that transfer power to the wheels. If they are dry or torn, they can cause squeaking, especially during turns.

Additional information for diagnosis:
Does the squeaking occur consistently or intermittently?
Does the sound change in pitch or intensity when turning or braking?
Is there any noticeable vibration or pulling to one side while driving?
Have you observed any other changes in the car's handling or performance?
Recommendations:
Schedule a service appointment with a qualified mechanic: They can examine the suspension, brakes, and other potential sources of the noise and provide an accurate diagnosis.
Do not disregard the noise: Ignoring it could lead to more serious issues and costly repairs later on.
Gather any additional information you can: If the noise seems to occur under specific conditions, make a note of them to assist the mechanic in their diagnosis.
While your low mileage may suggest that the issue isn't significant, it's always best to have it checked by a professional. Early detection and repair can save you time, money, and potential safety risks in the future.

When i drive the car it squeaks

Sounds like your suspension bushing are going bad. Depending on the age of the vehicle, these parts are made of rubber and wear out. They begin rubbing the metal together and can causing a squeaky sound from usually the front suspension. Might be a good idea to have a respectable alignment shop double check this solution. They can show you exactly what the problem is being caused by. It is pretty much a normal issue with older vehicles to need these rubber suspension parts replaced. They can cause alignments to start wearing tires faster and other steering components to wear out prematurely.

SQUEAKY, CREAKY, NOISE AT LOW SPEEDS ON DRIVERS SIDE. 2001 CHEVY SILVERADO. NOT IN BRAKES.

Hi and welcome to FixYa!

Pretty much a suspension bushing problem. If the lower suspension bushing is worn out, it tends to make a creaky noise. Once replace you'll be good.

Hope this helps and thank you for using FixYa! Have a good one!

Kluking sound in suspension when its cold - 5 and less

Sounds like it could be dry u joints. Kinda sounds like a squeaky bed? If it is you will need to get them replaced. Just greasing the old ones won't work.

Squeaky Rear suspension

I had the same problem. I had the control arms repaced in the back when my car was still under warranty. See if a mechanic can take a look at it to be sure.
