Squeaking Noise From My Suspension

My car has been making this weird squeaking noise evertime I drive like from the shock or springs I really dont know what it is, sounds like an old bed lol... What could it be? I'm riding on oem suspensions.

Re: Squeaking Noise From My Suspension

hmm, is it cold out? alot of times it could just be the shock or spring or both rubbing on stuff. or could be the sway bar endlinks. go around and spray some white lithium grease on them

Re: Squeaking Noise From My Suspension

my right side passenger area has a chirping noise when i have a passenger. under normal conditions everything is all good. i had a lot of squeeking noises when i was on springs and stock shocks.
but once i replaced with coilovers i was good

Re: Squeaking Noise From My Suspension

i had the same problem a few months ago...

is your squeaking noise coming from the rear suspension?

mine was the bushings, i packed that bitch with silicone lube. no noise coming from that bitch so far!

Re: Squeaking Noise From My Suspension

yeah those bushing def can get noisy when the grease comes out. if the have aftermarket sway links, can spray those with lithium grease too. even the stock ones i bet even tho there is some rubber in there. if its cold tho the suspension always tends to make more noise and give a rougher ride. now that its 80 here, i cant hear a sound and the ride is much softer.

Re: Squeaking Noise From My Suspension

lol speaking of rear control arms, mine are really bad too. at least when its 80F+ outside, the poly bushings make no noise only on cooler days can you hear them crunching.

Re: Squeaking Noise From My Suspension

get a grease needle and grease the bushing on the camber kit, its really easy, and cheap, and fixes for like 8 mos with a harsh winter
