I installed some new shocks a couple weeks ago, and for the last few days i've began to notice a constant squeaking sound coming from my right front fender. it sounds like the suspension, since it's fairly synonymous with bumps in the road and stuff...even on really small ones though so it's pretty much non-stop. IT'S DRIVING ME INSANE!

any ideas what it could be? sounds like a bushing or something, if so: any ideas which one it would be? and would wd40 rejuvenate them or should i try a silicon lubricant?

 

WD-40 might degrade the rubber. Try silicone spray on one bushing at a time. Don't forget the bushings that pivot the sway bar. Silicone spray won't keep them quiet for long, but probably long enough to identify WHICH bushing is making the noise. Then either lube it with silicone GREASE or replace the bushing.

 

i just noticed there's grease all over the spokes and inside of the rim so it looks like my cv joint went, i kind of supsected it after a i heard a couple clicks today and sure enough that's the problem.

i'm assuming this is the cause of the squeaking but even if it's not i'll have to take care of this first. if it persists afterwards ill try out your advice though.

fawk, everytime i fix some **** on my car something else ***** up. thanks for the help though man, you always offer sound advice
