When I shift and accelerate I get a squeek in my suspension as the cars nose raises and lowers. Anything but the softest acceleration causes tha squeak. A friend says it is the bushings an I could just spray silicone on them. Anyone agree or have other thoughts?

 

It could be a busted strut...

 

stock or aftermarket suspension?

 

I have the same problem. I have a squeaking noise with any minimal movement of the car. My rear right side. I have Tokico-H&R set up. Im not really sure what that is. Anybody????

 

it's most likely the polyurethane bushings.

 

my car has done that since day 1. It's a standard option that came with my car.

 

I had that problem and it turned out to be that the jack wasn't properly tightend down. So if you've used your jack in recent days (or even if you haven't - could've come loose) you might check it. Take it out and drive around for a bit...see if it continues.

Sounds simple but, let's face it, I'm a simple person.

hope it helps,

I have noticed this small creaky noise in the back of my car when I am going very slow--say starting to move from a standstill. In any case, it sounds as though some rubber/ or polyurthene bushing needs lubrication?

But it does come from the rear left (driver) side...anyone noticed this?

 

i've also noticed the same thing i have the koni/sprint setup.i first noticed it the first day i lowered the car.it would make the noise going over speed bumps slowly of course.then it went away for a while then comes and goes as it pleases.i dont know what it could be..

 

Thanks for all the replies. I have the stock set up and have over 100,000 miles. Noticed the squeek around 80,000 miles or so. BUT the car's 1st 80,000 of life were true hwy miles where I'd get on the hwy and keep it in 5th for 100 miles each way. In fact I still have the original brake pads! In the last 20,000+ miles I have accelerated and played more than in the car's 1st 80,000 miles and the squeek showed itself. I may try and spray the bushings to see if it helps. Otherwise, I may have to get some new suspension....

 

i've noticed that it comes from my right passenger side maybe i might ahve to tighten the bolts,but like i said it doesnt do it all the time.
