When i go over bumps my front suspension sounds like a squeaky mattress. I also noticed that when i am stopped, if i turn the steering wheel back and forth i get the same squeaking sound coming from somewhere around the 2 front wheels. Anybody know what the likely cause would be?

 

i dunno people say bushings or the shocks are worn

mine sounds like a old wooden door creaking like in those haunted houses n **** eeeeeerrrkkk

i think ill just have them rebuilt when i get a summer job and get myself some GC coilover sleeves whileim at it

 

Mine did this and it was an easy fix. Jack the front of the car up and spray the upper a arm bushings with WD-40. It's the two bushings that are often replaced as a camber kit. Spraying those down with WD-40 fixed my problem. While you're under there you might as well hit all the rubber bushings with a little lube just in case.

 

my buddy's mom's car did this. though she had a 87 accord, but yeah. like we used to be able to hear him coming from the squeaking down the road. and at red lights he used to turn the wheel so it would sound like the beginning of that one song "some cut" in front of people at the cross walk. we really didn't fix it, just left it the way it was because it was funny.

 

LOLOLL SOMECUT

werrt eern werrt eern werrt eern


damn is it that loud?

anyways is wd40 a TEMP fix or how long did it last you

 

I would use a silicone spray over WD40. WD40 will attract more dirt to the bushings wearing them out even further.
Which ever you use, wipe off excess spray to keep the dust and dirt from collecting on the sprayed parts.

 

more then likely bushings look into some enery suspension bushings.

 

Weird thing is today its 22 degrees celcius out and its not squeaking. But all month the temp. has not risen above 5 celcius and it was squeaking pretty bad in those temperatures.

 

mine does the exact same thing...since WD-40 or silicone spray is only a temp fix...what are some good suspension bushings out there?

 

There is a good chance its your swaybar bushings!! Those tend to dry out and crack!!

haha then it will squeak even more!!! Polyurethane will also dry out and crumble in 2-3 years if you don't keep them greased ALL the time. Rubber bushings do not have this problem.

If it's squeaking/creaking when turning the wheels, it's most likely a ball joint. I had a bad lower left ball joint that made a noise when turning the wheel.

But my upper A-arm bushings are also squeaking, and they're only about a year old (installed new OEM replacement A-arms w/ bushings and ball joints last year). I may try some silicone spray on them or something.
