squeaky suspension

Zsteve · 07-30-2010, 10:46 PM

I have 21K miles oon my car and now when Im coming to stops I can hear squeaks from the car coming from the wheel areas. Front and back from what I can tell. Anyone else have this before? Do I just need to get it lubed or something?

Is the noise for your brake pad squealers indicating your pads are nearly worn-out?

That was my initial guess as a possibility as well

no it sounds more like a creaking sound like something needs lubing.

yea bumps do it too. I will away for 5 weeks for some training so when I get back its going in the shop for an oil change and a good look at the noise. But would going over a bump make the exhaust creak if it doesnt hit it?

Its the design of our rear supension mine too. Wish the spring was part of the strut assembely too.

so will lubing it help? Mine is doing it just coming to slow stops.

I'm getting my coilover suspension installed this week. I will see if that cures it.

Just to weigh in...I am also having this problem intermittently. It is coming from the drivers side rear suspension any time load is added or removed from the vehicle, and before you say it I only weigh 190#

. I thought Modshack stated before, it might have to do with the camber arms, but I can not find that reference by search. Mod or anyone that would like to confirm or expound on this would be helpful, as I am currently having the dealer look at this, but of course am getting the ol can not duplicate BS.

Thanks

mine is noticeable when driving at a spped of say 20 mph and coming to a stop at a light, towards the last few feet it just sounds like the suspension or something is creaking. Also it seems to do it more later in the day when its 100 degrees out. Im TDY for another 4 weeks so I cant get mine in the shop till I get back but will have them look at it. When doing oil changes are we suppose to lube certain areas of the car to prevent squeaks?

OEM suspension? Mine does it a bit too, but just had new ones installed... worried that some bushings are pinched or something.
