The Infernal Squeak! Make It Stop!

mustang003 · April 25th, 2011, 02:32 AM

In the last two weeks i cut my stock springs. 1.5 coils in front, .75 in back. Isos in. I absolutely love the stance and the handling, however, there is a problem. As i drive, the front drivers side begins to squeak, a little bit and fairly quietly for the first few minutes and then progressively worse until it drives me crazy to have the windows open cause of the stupid squeaking. I feel it makes my car sound junky and I can't stand it. I've tried to figure out whats causing it and i've made sure to tighten everything down so nothings loose, but to no avail, the damn squeak persists. I'm thinking maybe the iso but idk how the iso could be that worn on a car with only 55k miles. Any suggestions on what to look into?

Also, it didn't seem to squeak as much when I drove her in the rain.

Did you remove the isolators? If so, it's the springs rubbing on the metal. Some grease would probably help. I've heard wrapping the ends of the springs with duct tape or electrical tape helps, but I imagine the springs would wear through them pretty quickly.
