Great. When I hit bumps, turn hard, or brake hard, my front drivers side tire squeeks. Think I blew a shock or maybe I have a bad spring? Any clues guys?

titanxboss

maybe its a motor mount??

96TL

I really doubt it. If I push down on the fender it squeeks. Seems like a shock to me. Now I might as well do both front shocks :banghead:

mines been squeeking too but i didnt pay no mind. it squeeks when i go up steep driveways or go down steep driveways. oh and im on stock springs!

96TL

Yeah but mine is squeeking so bad you can hear it when I drive by. It reminds be of an old taxi cab. I need to get this fixed ASAP.

TLBaller

its prob the weight you had from your stereo setup in the trunk. are the fronts squeekin too?

96TL

Only the drivers side front squeeks. The other three are fine.

i have this problem too. for me, the problem came because the mechanic that was reinstalling my suspension forgot to grease the lower bushings. so that mofo squeeks all the time. the only solution that i've come up with is to spray it with wd40 and put some grease on it. but that only remedies it for a couple of days, then it comes back. i've been too lazy to get it fixed cause you need to take off the whole suspension to fix it. the bushing should be this lil rubber round thing connected to the bottom of your spring/shock. check it out. if you're not sure, just wd40 all the rubber bushings.

How do you get access to it? Do you turn the wheel all the way out or do you jack it up? Thanks for the info.

just for reference

does anyone know who makes the OE 3.2 TL struts/shocks

kyb? something like that

unx979

yah just turn the wheel all the way and you should be able to see it.

It worked! Thanx bro! How much do you think it'll cost to fix correctly?

unx979

no clue, but there's no parts just labor. so it all depends on how much they charge for labor.
