Okay so my suspension was squeaking everytime i go through roughroads,
I lubed up the Uppercontrol arm bushings with silicone grease
that didnt make a difference i still have some squeaks.
i have Tokico Blue springs with stock everything else.

I was told to "clock my bushings"
which was to pre-load the suspension before tightening the bolt that connects the shock fork to the Lower control arm.
I did it to both sides
The only thing was i didn't tighten the bolt to spec. because i dont have a torque wrench.. so i just tightened it with a torque gun.

That did take away some of the squeaks, but a higher pitch but lower sound squeak got kinda louder, after clocking the bushings. I am Lost!!

Squeaks are soo hard to fix.
anybody with suggestions.

from what i understand, suspension squeeks can be dried out balljoints, in need to replacement. check the balljoint boots.

 

hmm.. Its weird.. when i push my car as hard as i can down from the fender or where ever it doesn't squeak.. no matter how much i push theres no squeaking noise..
But when i drive even on the smallest bumps theres a short high pitch squeak.
sometimes it sounds like something is rotating kind of squeak.

 

Maybe you've got a busted wheel bearing?

 

well i took it to 2 shops.. and when they test drived my car around, none of them heard anything. Am i going crazy?? Or i am like the only one that hears the sound.
I know the frequency of the squeak is very High, almost like needles dropping, or small coins. But Im the only one that hear these squeaks, everytime theres a small bump there is the high pitch squeak.

weirdd.....
