well i found out last night that whenever i take a sharp left turn, i hear a sweaking noise coming from the rear. not sure which side though. i am puzzled to what it could be. it only happens when taking sharp left turns, doesn't do it when turning right.

any help is appreciated

btw, car is a 2000 em1 with ksport coilovers if that helps any. thanks all

 

 

maybe your tires are rubbing or the inserts in the suspension.

 

Do you have poly bushings? If not completely lubed they can squeak.

If you have a worn rubber bushing (OEM bushings are rubber) one piece of metal can come into contact with the other and squeak.

If the bushing is worn, and it only squeaks when turning one way, it's likely going to be one of the bushings that are under load - for a hard left turn that'd mean a bushing on the right side.

 

dead shock ?

doubt that, they ride fine. don't feel differently at all. the sqeaking noise just started happening.

 

well could always check by pushing down on each corner of your car to see if it squeeks.
