1) SFC Stage 1
2) Softer, more comfy tires
3) Smaller wheels
4) Superlight wheels
5) sound deadening material
6) tighten loose screws

 

wurd, turd!

or check them gasket things that go on the strut mount..i think i might need to in the front but im not sure what noise it makes. but im too lazy anyway.

OR you could jus wait til spring man. winter makes creaks and stuff....it sucks

 

I also have a 98 with squeeks i nteh front passanger side area. How can I make everything nice and tight?

 

never had this prob on my 3rd gen but i guess you give and you take

 

once you break those oem seals, it's all downhill from there.

 

I blame my self for all the creaks and rattles.

 

don't forget bushings

 

My '96 I30 was in the same situation and these new parts solved the case:
- New KYB GR-2 Struts
- New OEM Strut Mounts
- New OEM Strut Bearings
- New OEM Inner tie rod ends
Use as much OEM parts in the suspension as you can, you'll be not dissapointed and don't use for any reason KYB Strut mounts, you'll waste your money.
All the suspension parts are expensive, expect to spend at least 500-600 (Just Parts, labor is another ticket!) to replace all that parts

 

damn, that sounds like alot of work. i wish i never took apart my car to install my stereo. but i went around twice to make sure everything is tight before i put everything back together. and i already have kyb agx shocks and h&r springs in my room just waiting to be installed.

wht bushings are you guys talking about?
