shockies squeaking!!!

[Mr GTS4]

the other night i noticed that i could hear a squeaking from the front left of the car.. i got out to see what the hell was going on and started to push down on the front left side and it was squeaking it arse off... i'm hopefully getting some gtr struts soon but do you think they well hold up?

Doesnt sound like anything bad, have u got urethane bushes?

this happens in my mums r31, except its in the front right side. It not a high pitch squeek.

Its been like that for over a year now, it squeeks when we go over un-even road too.

hi, that squeak will more than likely be the top suspension arms. They squeak like crazy and are about $200 each at nissan plus fitting. They need to be fitted correctly (with the car suspension at normal driving height) or they flog out the bushes real quick.

check the threads for top arms

cool.. i i'll have a look at it on the weekend. when i bought the car the front left shock knocked everytime i went over a bump. but then it went awayso i didn't worry about it. thats why i thought it was the shockie.

Yeh I had that squeaking problem and it nearly drove me crazy. Mechanics replaced the bushes because they thought they were gone, but that didn't fix it.

In the end just lubed the suspension arms and everything's fine now.
