Every time i take a sharp corner, mostly at low speeds, (ie: 90 degree turns...), the front left suspension squeeks (a constant squeel almost, rubber-on-rubber sounding). I am thinking that it is my bushings, but I'm not sure. I have MaxSpeed Coilovers ( ) with Tokico Blues all around...Its been doing this for about 4 weeks. I just want to fix this in case it is anything serious. I don't want to have to spend too much money on this, trying to sell....

when i was looking into buying my shocks i found out that tokico shocks squeak, at least on the g3. i thought that the problem was with illuminas tho... so maybe that has nothing to do with it. but anyways, i bought agx instead of hte tokicos because i didnt want any squeaking.

 

might also be your coilovers. i had this same problem with my car, replaced the shitty coilovers with quality lowering springs and no more squeaking.

it also could be your tires rubbing your fenders.

 

it sounds like a tire rubbing the fender, but its not. I've had the same ride height for over 1 year, and the noise happens with both the 14's and the 17's on. Plus, its only been happening for about 4 weeks...along with the fact that its becoming more frequent and louder, i'm assuming its something that needs to be replaced.

Damn...i'm good with my engine stuff, but I can't fgure out suspension for the life of me!

 

Low quality coilover sleeves often are noisy. Sometimes they can move around a bit on the shock. Those shocks aren't helping, either, they're not made to handle stiff lowering springs, especially not adjustable coilover springs.

 

*bump*??

 

if you had said, a clicking noise when turning I would have said your CV joints, but since its a squeak...I'll prob go with the others on this one.

 

do you have rubber or polyurethane bushings???

 

no, no aftermarket bushings here...I'm thinking it is the bushings...

 

illuminas do squeak for some reason. i noticed them on my car. it is not bad, just a little obnoxious.

 

Polyurethane camber kits squeak while turning. Mine do it all the time, just need to grease them up one of these days. Maybe thats it?
