Myself, and the other mods have been very nice and lenient with the rules. We have been deleting threads, and giving out warnings. Some members didn't get the clue and re-posted over and over... Now ANY member buying or selling in this section will be banned... No IF's AND's or BUT's.

    Squeaky Suspension?

    My car is lowered on Neuspeeds and Tokico Blues
    I have had them on there for quite a while now and have had no problems.

    However, when I go over bumps, I hear a squeaky noise coming from around the front suspension area. What is that caused from? Is it possibly alerting me to a problem? Or just caused from the springs bouncing around under there?

    You see models at every car show.
    But have you ever seen a model that actually takes the car she built to a show?

    wd40 your sway bar bushings ( ALL OF THEM ) LCA bushings and UCA bushings. if ur looking for a quick fix. other suggestion would be to get some synthetic grease and jizz some of that on your bushings. this solved my problems. it takes about 3 applications of wd40 over a couple of weeks for it to completely go away but after the grease i havent heard a peep

      I had that problem on my civic. It was the upper ball joint. Might wanna inspect that.

        Lol, jizz...

        Maybe your suspension is squeaky clean ?

        Anyways, I used all purpose grease when I installed my bushing and ball-joints, helps a bunch.

          Grease your bushings, make sure your ball joints aren't in poor condition, and make sure your shocks aren't blown. Just because they're new doesn't mean you didn't smack something just right and blow one... but you'd probably notice that in the way the car drives as well (not always... some people are clueless... but it was frighteningly obvious when I did it!)

            before you grease the bushings make sure none of them are cracked or broken.

              usually a loud squeaking will come from a ball joint with little lubrication.

              Solution, new ball joint. Usually, it is the lower ball joints that tend to squeak.

                If it IS a ball joint, replace it immediately. A broken ball joint can result in a fatal crash.
