my suspen. squeaks

[DREAMER]

when i ever i hit a bump my suspension squeaks and i cant figure out what it is.

It would help greatly if you told us what you have or haven't replaced.

sounds like u need new struts

[deevergote]

It could be struts, bushings, ball joints... Basically ANYTHING in the suspension.

Posting a question like this is only a hair better than saying "my car is broken, does anyone know what's wrong with it?"

[Eazy M 316]

lol i know your right. he needs to specify what he has replaced or done

[jamaicancb3]

or maybe his shocks could be dead as knit -_- not cool

i bought the car a couple months ago so im not sure what the guy replaced but i know there tokico blue struts and coils(dont know what they are probly ebays)the squeak sounds like its coming from the drivers side front wheel i thought maybe ball joints but wasnt sure if they'ed squeak if there bad.

i would suggest buying a can of silicone spray and start spraying individual bushings and moving parts one at a time starting from the bottom and working your way up, spray then drive repeatedly until the noise isnt audible then you will have found your source

Ball joints shouldn't squeak... but it would be wise to inspect them anyway. A torn ball joint boot can result in failure of the joint, which would lead to a crash.

Inspect all bolts, and make sure everything is tight. If the suspension was modified, don't assume that the previous owner knew what he was doing... so few people actually do things right, it seems!

Spraying the bushings with silicone spray is a good idea. Be sure the bushings are in good condition, If they aren't, replace them.

I have a polyurethane camber kit and it squeaks. Even if you don't have a camber kit, the stock rubber bushings on the upper control arms could be worn out. Also, the rubbing that occurs between the spring and isolators(? rubber pieces) can create some noice, as well as the shock itself if its worn.

I would grease up your upper and lower control arm bushings and then see if it still squeaks. If it does, then you may have a problem with your shocks.

My front drivers side was squeaking crazy, like if a cat was living in there and didn't like the bumps it even cried when i turned the wheel. anywho, i got the ball joints replaced. Voila, the cat is gone!
