suspension squeaking

yes, yesterday when I parked my car I noticed it was squeeking?

 

same thing! i got H&R springs though.. if you steam wash the car, it might go away for a while

 

my car squeeks too.

annoys the shit outta me.

I'll be lowering my car shortly. Cant stand that squeek

 

mien does it, i found the problem is the parking brake somehow making that sound

 

My car squeeks usually over speed bumps. i have stock suspension, i have 35k on my odometer. PS might just be the cold weather the springs might be more stiff.

 

hmm, i get that sound too when ever i sit in the car, i should try that wb40 thanks

 

yeah I noticed this since day one...brought it up to my dealerships attention various times but they said they couldn't hear anything.

Had a mechanic from my dealership come outside so I could show him the noise and he said it had to do with the hand brake.

 

you need silcone lubricant it does the same thing as wd40 but not as greasy.

 

Where do everybody live that has this problem?? I may be wrong but it could be the cold weather??

 

What you are most likely hearing is the bushings. As the get older the stiffen, they are made from rubber, when it gets colder they also get stiffer. Stiffer = noisier. Also WD40 IS NOT a lubricant, it is a short turn water disperser and loosener, used for removing old nuts and such or cleaning water out of metal parts that could rust. If you are looking to lube something(s) use either silicon or lithium. Lithium is messier though. Manufacturers use cheap rubber ones for cars in stock trim, upgrading to after market ones should help. You can also look to your spring pads, they are also rubber (usually) and can start squeaking after a while.

 

i've got eibach springs in mine and im starting to get a popping noises only when i do low speed turning.
off to the shop today to get it checked.

 

I ended up finding my squeek.

It was my RRM sway bar. Needed to lude that bitch up. no noise now

 

Awesome, they put in some rubber stabilizers and popping noises gone. props to Garage five in Richmond, BC

 

Which springs do you have from Eibach? Sportlines or Pro-Kit?

 

sometimes my brake squeek

 

i have the same problem with the popping noise but mine is more of a creaking. the dealership and my mechanic says its the strut mount, that the lowering springs are putting extra pressure on them resulting with the creaking at low speeds. but if this is a preventative measure i could take then i'll have to look into this also, so that i don't have to go back and have the mounts replaced again down the road, at least theyre doing it under warranty tho. how much did these cost you? are they just called 'stabilizers'? TIA

 

ya you could say the noises i was experiencing were creaking noises as well. It didnt cost me anything since i bought the springs from garage five and had them install them. They told me they were called Rubber stabilizers, not sure if thats the proper term or not.
