as far as i know springs wouldn’t squeek, does it stop when it rains at all.I was first thinking the bushings becasue that what i’m going through, however i have sportslilne springs as well, so i hope its not that

What about a lower ball joint, ihad that problem it would squeek like crazy

Make sure any eurethane is greased. Did you put rubber isolater thing back on the new springs? Also make sure everything is torqued to specs and not overtightened.

I’d go with XDEep on this. I had a bitch of a squeak a few months ago…so I grabbed some grease and just greased the crap out of all the bushings…no more squeak for me ever since.

Cant you bounce the car up and down on each corner and isolate the squeak that way?

just make sure that you check the lower ball joint before you buy anything else. That was a problem with mine and after that everything was fine

did you actually remove the bushing? you gotta get the grease inbetween the rubber and the metal. i guess you can just loosen them enough to push some in.

ya sure i guess bouncing would work, but driving also involves twisting n stuff

Suspension Squeak

Hi Guys,new member here.

The suspension squeak you described could, as one lister already mentioned, be coming form the lower ball joints. I had the same problem 6 months ago. I was masking the problem by using an aerosol lubricant. It snapped on me at about 60 m.p.h. Luckily i did no damage to the car or anybody else. Get it checked.
