Squeeky rubbing noise

[makaveli]

cool let me know if everything goes ok, we can see if we have the same problem.

I took my car to pedders and they didnt find anything wrong with it, and they said if it gets any worse just bring it back and they will check it for free.

Ok, 2 things. Firstly it is probably something rubber on steel. Secondly, if it's worse in the wet, that indicates that it is something exposed to the elements so unlikely to be internal parts of your shock absorber (it is possible though, you might just notice it more in the wet).

Look for areas with steel and rubber contacting. Off the top of my head I can think of suspension bushes, shock absorber bushes, and the bump stops on top of the springs. Spray anything suspect with some sort of lubricant. I would think WD40 would be ok, but I'm not sure if that's ok to spray on rubber so check with someone more knowledgeable first.

There was a spray that a mechanic used to get rid of a squeak in my bike's suspension but I can't remember what it was. I think it was silicone-based.

Jimx thanks for the input, I will definetly look into that. I did ask pedders about the condition of the bushes and they said everything is fine. This is so wierd, I wish i knew why it was making that noise. I would think sometimes that something is rubbing although i sometimes squeeks which cant be something rubbing.

Thanks again Jimx

my car hasn't been making the rubbing/squeeking noise, very wierd. It musn't be very serious.

i had the same problem b4

but i fixed it.

It may be because of an imbalance in the car causing too much

stress on one of the shocks.

Before i had my 12 inch sub mounted on the side of the boot which was realli heavey.

After moving it to the middle the noise was gone.

And i know for a fact that the noise came from

the front passagner suspension.

Hope thats helpful...

thanks for the info mate, its very helpfull although mine does it on the drivers side in the front wheel and if that is the case im not sure what could be causing the stress on the front shock coz i dont have anything that is heavy in the car, unless its my weight hehe

dont think so

hahahah. i know what your problem is, i get it too.

i have some fat tyres on the fornt 255's and i also have low suspenson, its stiff as shit, and it rubs on hte plastic gaurds that are inside your 1/4 pannels.

check the plastic and u will see rubbing marks.

hope this solves your problem.

i realise why mine does it, a mechanic said my bushes were worn on the right front and i think thats why its squeaking, also my shocks are f***ed

[makaveli]

i was told that something in the suspension just needs to be lubricated, ill try that in my next service and see how everything goes.

thanks heaps guys for the help!!!
