What is a grinding noise that makes when you put your Trailblazer in drive or reverse then drive?
sqeaking/creaking noises front the front of the car will most likely come from the control arm bushings or sway bar bushings. Bushings are pieces of rubber (or polyurethane if you have a performance vehicle) that fit between the metal parts of the car (similar to a function of a rubber washer). When the rubber gets old and breaks down it tends to sqeak/creak. These noises can be louder with temperature and humidity changes in the weather. There ya go. Have fun replacing them.
Why does the front end squeak on a 1997 Ford truck?
If the bushings wear enough (usually are 95% of the squeaking problems) the front wheel alignment can change and can wear the tires faster if not make the vehicle pull to one side of or the other. There are rubber bushings on the bolts that attatch to the frame that keeps some of the vibration and noise down. They can dry out or harden and can either fall out or twist enough to wear metal to metal.

It really depends on the year/make model of the vehicle,type of driving and the material they are made of. I've replaced Factory front bushings on a BMW X5 after on 3yrs/30,000 miles( large soft rubber, city car.) while my mother Chrysler's bushings last 10yrs/100,000 miles (smaller bushings made of a harder rubber). Most last 8-12yrs. BMWs have the shortest life span than I've seen.

Use a ball joint press. You can get one from Harbor Freight. You'll most likely need the accessory kit as well. You can use the press in different configuration to press the old bushings out, and the new bushings in. Even the front upper bushings in the axle can be pressed out, although it may be a little tricky setting up the ball joint press to do the job.

What material is used for high performance bushings on FWD cars?
High-performance bushings for front-wheel drive (FWD) cars are typically made from materials such as polyurethane or synthetic rubber. Polyurethane offers enhanced durability, improved handling, and resistance to wear compared to standard rubber bushings. Some high-end applications may also use materials like aluminum or Delrin for even greater stiffness and performance. These materials help reduce flex and improve the vehicle's responsiveness and overall stability.
