ok well about a month after i bought the sol i put new tie rod ends on it and got it aligned. Ever since i have done this i hear a creaking or bad bushing like noise when i slowdown or pull into a lot or drive way. My GF says she can feel it in where her feet are where the comp goes in the pass. side. anyone one what i might need to replace or tighten up? i looked and everything looks and feels tight. thanks James

likely ur lca bushings. check to see if there coming out of the metal or torn. try prying up or down on it. if it stays up or down it's bad. it should go back into place once the force is taken off.

Have you inspected the bushings to see if they're torn?

How many miles are on the car?

i looked at them back when it started but didnt see anything out of the ordinary. since its nice out today ill do it again and do some prying on some parts and c what i find out.

well its a lca bushing fartest away from ball joint. so i get to replace it now fun fun. hopefully i can do it in school otherwise i have to pay for some one to press it out.

try to do as many of them as you can if you have the time and money

soak them down with some pb blaster. seriously. try that first at least. it could just be an annoying squeak because they're new. i had the same thing happen a while back when i put in new oem shocks.

Burn the bushing out. Then cut the metal ring off, press in new bushings. Peice of cake.

Depending on the bushing you go with, there is no need for a press.

well ill be doin it at school hopefully cuz of all the tools and all. if i spray it with silicone spray it stops but then starts later on down the road. gunna replace it asap tho
