My car just started squeeking in the front driver side. I dropped my car on Sprints and ive been rolling on them for about a year. The squeeking sounds like a bed squeeking or metal rubbing on styrofoam. I know its not my breaks. My friend told me it my be my "bushings". It doesnt squeek all the time, just when i start slowing down or come to a stop from downhill. I just want to know if this is normal and how do i get rid of it..... It's kinda annoying. Anyone know what it is?

could be the shocks......

 

is it blown?????? do shocks squeek?

 

do you have a camber kit?
mine squeeks (my kit that is)

 

yea i have a camber kit. Its Ingalls. How did you stop the squeek? If its the camber kit, is it bad?

 

my car does the exact same thing....i dont have a camber kit and i cant figure out what it is

 

anytime you do anything to the suspension, besides making it back to stock, your going to hear different noises.....

 

yea i know, but this sound just came out of no where. i just want to get rid of it but idont know what it is.

 

does anyone have the same problem, and know how to fix it?

 

I had the same problem in my '92. It was most likely the shocks. I know its not the wheel/rubber. Are you using stock shocks? Or aftermarket?

 

I have the Ingalls camber kit on mine and unless you packed it with grease before you installed them they will squeak, especially after it rains or it gets colder. What I do is jack the car up in the front and spray white grease on them and saturate them....its stops it for a while but as mentioned earlier "once you upgrade your suspension other than OEM you will start hearing noises.

 

I'm using stock shocks. I know i have to upgrade soon but how do you know when to replace them?

 

Thanks. what part of the camber kit did you grease. I took a look at it and i dont know where to grease..?

 

When they are bad . Or when you lower your car. I never recommend using stock shocks on lowering springs or adjustable springs.

EDIT: removed clutter.

cool. what shocks do you recommend? Im kinda on a budget. Oh and im on Sprint lowering springs right now with a 2 1/4 drop. Should i just get a whole new suspen. kit?

 

Do either. Look into Tokico 5-ways, Koni yellows or some KYB AGX's. Those should fall into your budget somewhere.
