#1802, "Creaking in the front after lowering"


          

Hey guys,

My right front suspension area is creaking when I hit bumps that make the car bounce a little (higher rate springs...) anyways - any idea what I need to lubricate??? It is a 95, and I am pretty sure the chassis has never been lubricated. I am thinking that it may be the bushings in the upper control arm - any where else I should look??? Thanks a bunch for the help.


2003 VW GTI 1.8t.. I used to have a 95 Eclipse but well...water sucks.

I was told that the creaking could be comming from the spring itself...When installed, there should have been a rubber sleave around top of the springs. This prevents the coils from touching and making a creaking sound. See if that's the problem...if not...take a bottle of WD-40 and spray your entire set up with it:-)

My rear end creaks TON. It started happening soon after I installed new sway bars and a new lower rear tie bars.
