Default Whats up with the squeeky suspension?......

Hey whats up yaw'll. I gotta 5th gen coupe, and I say about 3 months ago I put on the AGX's with skunk coils. Ever since then I've notice a rather loud *** squeeking noise comin from the struts man.....either the struts or the upper bushing area, when ever I go over speed bumps or when ever the strut actually moves up and down. Its not slammed cuz I been down that road already. The struts are set at level 1. And I drive moderately.(dailydriva)

It sounds like your ball joints are bad. Mine do/did the same thing. Its fairly inexpensive to replace.

Do you have a camber kit? My car squeaks too due to the urethane bushings in my camber kits. I don't see how your shocks and coilovers could be causing the noise.

Yeah, I've got the same problem. I'm fairly certain it's the bushings in the camber kit. Anyway to correct this?

I periodically spray them down with lethium grease. It quiet down a little. engall recommends a titanium type grease (I think thats what its called?) I've never been able to find it.
