:roll: I was wondering if anyone can help me out. I have an 06’
Malibu thats only four months old. Over the past month, I have been
experiencing underbody and suspension "Squeeking" and a bumping
sensation on the right front tire. Dealer fixed a constant "Power
Steering" Message on the DIC. Took two trips just for the dealer to
turn the message off. "Sensor" was replaced. Whole steering system
has been replaced, and right front tire is constantly being
re-balanced. Same bumping sensations on right front tire and squeeking
persists. Has anyone else had this problem? What could it be? Anyone
have any suggestions on what to tell the dealer what it might be?
HELP!!!

I presume the bumping gets faster and slower as your speed goes.

Yes, bumping does get faster and slower as the speed varies. Hubcap
was checked, and was found normal. Do you think maybe the tire needs
to be replaced? I read somewhere in here it could be a break issue...
Replace brakes maybe?...

spare tire and see if that solves the bumping. Wouldn't cost you
anything but about 30 minutes work. Also taking the wheel off
would allow you to inspect the tire better. You would also be
leaving the hubcap off to see if that helps. Inspect all your tires,
look for bulges.

If you have a space saver spare, switch with a tire from the other side of
the car and see if it still does it. If not, it is the tire. I had a problem
once with a torn tire belt and only found it after much rebalancing and
alignment.

Try switching with a tire from the other side. If the problem goes away its
the tire. I had a torn tire belt once that was only discovered after much
balancing and alignment.
Good luck.
