i have a slight squeak when i go over curbs like backing out of my driveway, my car is dropped so i go over them slowly, this just started happening. i have tokico struts and progress drop springs only 6 months old on the struts and springs so i highly doubt its either of those. what if anything can i look at under the car to see where this might be coming from? any help is appreciated im totally lost on this one.

 

do you turn your steering wheel all the way and when going over the curb it makes the noise?

 

yeah come to think of it i do think it is only when i have the wheel turned all the way

 

I get those squeaks all the time.

 

Most likely its from the stopper bolts that contact the control arm at full lock. When the suspension compresses on your lowered ride, the tip of that bolt is coming into contact with the control arm.

Just jack up your car, use a 17mm open ended wrench and take them off to see if the noise goes away. They are threaded into the bottom part of your hub.

 

Yep, larrio said the same thing that i was going to point out. As this happens to me to cause there is suppose to be a plastic cap thats suppose to be on there but it usually falls off due to wear and tear. I have the part number if you want it.

 

hmm, so no damage is being done just a bolt contacting something. thats a relief i thought something was broken under the car. that takes 1 problem off my list..heh
