sup guys, i drive a 00 si

my front right side suspension squeaks when u push down on it from outside
and it squeaks whenever i go over any kind of bump ..

also, my front right brake makes creaking sounds
i dont know whats wrong with it, i just replaced all my brake pads ..
maybe i have a messed up rotor ?

could these two problems be related ?
i dont have access to a jack right now so i couldnt check it out ..

im a nub so any info is appreciated ..

 

Blown strut maybe?

 

would that cause squeaking sounds ?

i have koni yellows, wit around 30k, dont they last longer ?

 

I would think bushing problems. My car does the same thing when I drive it. WHat i recommend is to jack it up and check every rubber bushing make sure nothing looks out of the norm

 

Do you have OEM bushings? Squeaking is usually caused by polyurethane bushings not being lubed enough when installed. Also, check to see if there is any oil residue on the strut itself. That'll indicate if it's blown or not. When you press down on the car from the outside, does it bounce more than it should?

 

it doesnt seem to bounce any more so i dont think its the strut itself ..

could it just be messed up bushings ?
i know my upper control arm bushings are shot, but would that cause squeaking sounds ?
the sounds are isolated to my front right ..

also, what could be causing the creaking sounds from my brakes ?

thanks for all the input so far

 

bump for more ideas ?

 

like i said man, check all your bushings again. with suspension you have to check everything.
