suspension/springs squeeking
 

when i drive for a long period of time or when there is a lot of weight in my car...for example like people combine weighing 500 pounds when i brake or slow down or going like 10km/h i hear a squeek from my driver side suspension. my drive shaft was broken so i thought that was it. got it replaced...still the noise. my friend pushed down on the driver side and it creaked...meaning it is the suspension...i dont know what to do...if it is major or minor.

some info:

Eibach Sportline Springs
KYB AGX Shocks
both a year old

please let me know if there is maintanence required or something. thanks for your help

could be ur lower control arm bushing, i've had a squeak like that for a couple months now. when i go up a ramp or slow down and there is little bumps in the road it kinda sounds like floor boards creaking. Went to Gillman the suspension guru he advised me it was nothing major.

What i'm doing is replacing those bushings with ones from energy suspension.

could be your lower ball joint too.

what should i do about it...cause it is an annoying noise and i want to get rid of it...cant deal with my car creaking...it just doesnt sound good.

mike the sound is actually pretty bad even when i drive and am going slow until i stop...when i get out of my car it creaks cause my weight has been takin out.

thanks for the help

hmm, i don't believe we have the same squeak then. I'd bring it to gillman have him it check it out. when i went down there he brought out a stethoscope so he could hear where the noise was coming from. Man's a suspension doctor, he'll let u know.:)

it might be my lower ball joint john i remember my mechanic mentioning that to me a little while back...that it was loost or something...

anyways mike where is gillman at so i can take it to him? and get a proper idea of what the problem is...thanks in advance.

all the information is right here in this link:

I had a squeak when I blew a shock. See if you notice the front end bouncing when taking bumps on the highway, other thing to do remove the strut, seperate the shock from the spring and compress the shock manually. It should give you even resistence while being compressed, and float back up smoothly, without any noise.

im pretty sure it is not the suspension cause when i turn no noise...and no its not bouncy on bumps so i guess good sign. ill go to gillman mike thanks...i know exactly where that is.. ill let you know what happens

ball joint or sway bar bushings........

Just wondering, does Gilman's charge for inspection?

^^^ Nope
