    Squeaking noise in front suspension

    i recently went to peddars and got the suspension safety check and said i was hearing noises whenever i went over bumps and they said my bushes were worn and i have to replace them and that it was causing the squeking noise whenever i went over a bump, i got the bushes replaced today but i tested them by going over bumps and it still makes the noise, does anyone have any ideas of what the problem is?

    also whenever i try to change gears really quick and accelerate going from 1st to 2nd the car shudders and takes a second to go, are these signs of my clutch being worn? cos it seems like it has trouble 'gripping' the gear, the mechanic also said that replacing the bushes would stop this...any ideas?
    thanks Trini

    I regards to the squeaking, I had the same problem so I removed the wheel and WD40'd the hell out of everything. Squeak is gone, hopefully its not unsafe.

        Ball joints, bushings, strut mounts, motor mounts. Anything that has rubber basically and is under more load when you hit a bump.

        Check the lower and upper ball joints

            first of all, make sure ur ball joints r safe, if one of those breaks its not pretty...

            my car makes the same noise (more like a creeking sound?) and as far as i can tell its because i just did my ball joints but i bought somewhat crappy ones so thats wut i get for cheaping out lol...

            try wd40 like vinbon said, that seemed to solve the problem for about a week for me, just been too lazy to go out and redo it

            does the clutch slip like that on start off? lol my car ALSO does that and im thinkin i need a new clutch but its a "new" used jdm tranny =(

            i have noooo idea how replacing bushings would help with the clutch issue as ur mech said, sounds like bs to me but i dunno.... gl

                last time i heard squeaking noises, it was my lower ball joint.
                that was'nt very fun to change. lower b-joints are $20 at murrays lifetime warranty $100. upper b-loints wit control arm..my whole front suspension lifetime warranty from murrays
