Front End Suspension Sqeeks....

[ssxcytmnt]

My front end suspension squeeks really bad when i go over bumbs or a bumby road.. I cant figure out whats causing it. Ive relubrcated all my suspension components (front stabilizer bar, end links). The shocks (bilstien)were replaced a few years ago and the springs are original equipment.. Whats interesting was i took my car to a car wash and washed the underside and the squeeks stopped for a day then came back.. Any info would be greatly appreciated.. Thanks

dont wanna thread jack but, wat did you use and how did you go about lubing stuff. i have squeeks coming from the front, rear, everywhere lol, and i put grease in my lca's but how do u lube the stabilizer bar, endlinks ect..... thanks

I jacked up the car and took off the wheel and then took apart the end links and the rubber bushings on the front sway bar and cleaned and put some lithiam grease on the bushings and put it back together.. I even sprayed WD 40 to see if i can narrow down where its squeeking at and still my front suspension squeeks.. Im just guessing its in the shock or spring... its driving me nuts... lol

grease all teh bushings... if that don't work... umm.. set ssomething on fire... a big fire and you'll feel much better... or replace the bushings....

My 02 Cmaro does the same thing, just over the speed bumps in P lots etc. Everything checks out okay and tight, but I have a feeling it is the styro foam / bumper cover or something chaffing. Again doesnt seem to do it when wet, just on dry warm days. bumper cover seems tight.

just my thoughts..

Try some penetrating oil instead of wd40. Also do the control arm bushings and top strut mounts.

Ok cool, I will definatly try that.. Will keep everyone updated.. Thanks....

I had this same problem and figured it out. The noise is coming from your upper strut mount isolator. It is 14-16 bucks from the local parts store, they do have to order it usually.

Thanks for the info, I changed out the upper strut mount isolaters and it took care of the squeeky noise.. I appreciate the help.. Thanks..

No problem. I spent alot of time and money trying to figure that out. It's always something simple.
