Squeak Squeak!

DC97Cobra · October 13th, 2005, 07:52 PM

My suspension squeaks a lot up front if I turn the wheels left and right while sitting still or when I'm making slow maneuvers in a parking lot. Any suggestions? Suspension is one of my weakest areas of knowledge. I'm guessing something probably needs to be lubricated but where? And would Poly bushings squeak a lot too?

most probably cause if it does it when you turn the wheel is the outer tie rod ends. very easy to change yourself and then take it somewhere for the alignment.

Thanks. I'll take a look at them and give your suggestion a try.

Turns out that the squeaking were the ball joints being bad. MAtter of fact.. One was pretty much sepereated when it was put on a lift. New ball joints were install and then had the car aligned. The squeaking is mostly gone and the car handles a lil better too!

also sometimes the front swaybar bushings can cause squeeking or popping noises
