Lewmc93 Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 The past week ive had a annoying squeak start to manifest , ive jacked the car up and it appears to be the passenger front where its coming from. As far as I can tell it's only squeaking when traveling up or down , as per the video my phone is sat on the lower arm and I'm pushing up on the suspension, I made sure all nuts were torque'd and they were all okay, I sprayed a bit of lube on all the bushings and still persists , I can't seem to locate it by ear but I'm assuming it's either suspension , Or bushings , I have searched by nothing seems to have the same noise or problem with only up and down travel , I have attached 2 video links so you can hear the sound and also a quick look to see if I missed anything and also for any other suggestions! Cheers guys https://www.dropbox.com/s/5y5uuxqq20lm935/2017-11-08%2014.35.51.mp4?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/mlvaqti997v0y38/2017-11-08%2014.39.38.mp4?dl=0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooter Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 I would suspect the aftermarket shock? Not really heard of any squeaking bushes threads... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewmc93 Posted November 8, 2017 Author Share Posted November 8, 2017 I would suspect the aftermarket shock? Not really heard of any squeaking bushes threads... It could be , they are bc racing coilovers , ill have to look into if they can have a rebuild or cheaper to buy whole new front sus, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wile e coyote Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 Remove the drop link and see if it goes If so could be drop link or anti roll bar Had a similar thing and turned out to be drop link Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewmc93 Posted November 10, 2017 Author Share Posted November 10, 2017 (edited) Remove the drop link and see if it goes If so could be drop link or anti roll bar Had a similar thing and turned out to be drop link Well good news and bad , It's not the arb or droplinks squeaking , Bad news is it's still squeaky and I've also managed to sheer the arb mounting bolt in the thread :'( so now have to try get it out and find a new one Edit : Also removed lower bolt on strut that joins to the lca, the movement without the strut attached is quiet, looks like it could be the coilovers, but is that likely both to go at the same time ?
