8461, Annoying squeek
Posted by slodsm, Apr-07-02 01:12 PM
In my left rear after I lowered my car earlier this week. Only when I go over large bumbs like speed bumps or a pot hole in a parking lot. On the road it is fine but in like Walmart parking lot, it will drive you nuts. I pulled the wheel off and checked all the Tq's and they are all right, I have no idea what is causing this but it is driving me nuts, anyone else have it happen to them and know of a fix?

Could be your control arm bushings, or the strut bushing. Your camber being off might cause the problem too, i supose..try and have someone push down on the car and put your ear down by the wheel to try and locate the squeek. You should be able to distinguish a general area, like upper or lower suspension...

no camber kit yet, its only been lowered for about 3 days so it has not settld all the way plus my tires are about gone so I am waiting about 2 more weeks and then gonna go get new tires and an alignment done all at once. Then I will do the camber thing as well. I tried the pushing down thing and that didn't work well either. I think it only happens when it flexes a lot.

ya, my rear struts make mad noise, and the fact that there aint n e thing back there(panels,etc..) dont help...

umm, i do get a really high pitched squeek that i only hear w/no music, i think its either the dr. side mirror, or the bushings in my suspension...

but ya, u will have many more noises after lowerin, just dont trip out, and check over it all (u said u did ;-) )
