Anoying Sqeak From Front Left

[kidafa]

Hi All,

Ive had this anoying sqeak for the past week or so only notice it when im going slow and theirs minimal road noise (under say 40km/h). Tonight decided to investigate it a bit more. Ive worked out that when I push down on the Passenger front guard to compress/move suspension it makes the sound.

I removed the wheel and sprayed some inox on the any moving parts i could see to see if somethings just super dry or whatever and then put the wheel back on and had another push and the f**kers still their.

If i was to remove the coilover and completely remove all the suspension components lube them up and re install will I loose any camber or toe/alignment settings?

Any ideas?

Cheers

Got a girlfriend? Is she in the car when it happens? Could be related

On a more serious note, what are your bushes like? Could be they are fairly daggy hence causing your problem

Yeah, you'll need a re-alignment if you remove your coilovers.

I'd say it could be one of your bushes...camber, castor, or swaybar bushes.

i used to have the same problem mate

ended up being had to change all the bushes as they were f**ked

I put this up in the stag section as well and their are two others that had the same problem.

For both of them they removed a bolt on the control arm pryed back the seal on the bush with a flat head screwdriver and sprayed some lube in each end and it shut the thing up.

Start uni late tomorrow so will give it a crack

haha no GF at the moment. But i do have a funny story...

Took a girl for a drive down to the bay a few weeks back to go for a walk around the place icecream and walk on the beach ect (early stages of getting in her pants ayy )

On the way down their on anzacs a black VE V8 commie of some sort pulled up next to us with 4 male occupants and the driver put down his window and said Ill race you for your missus. HAHA she WASNT impressed and put the window up almost immediately.

[Krishy]

^^^ so did she take offence to being your miss part or being used as a wager?????

[kidafa]

Best part was I was to busy laughing about it and completely missed the lights as the commie rocketed away.... haha

I have this squeek and now other noises, how much does it cost to replace bushes?

Im getting the check at pedders this weekend but a heads up would be good....

[Krishy]

just to get my castor rod bushes done cost me $180 all up

[ontheranch]

I had them replaced at morpowa $280 bucks last year.
