so ever since i lowered my TL, i've been getting these annoying noises coming from the right side of my car. i searched this problem up already and i lubed up all the joint with WD-40. this helps for a while and then the squeeking and creeking comes back next day. also, this only happens when i'm going over a dump or dip in the road at 40mph or less, and when i'm on the freeway it's quiet. what do i need to do to fix this? thanks in advance!

cliffs:

- lowered my car (ground-controls)
- the suspension on the right side squeeks
- only squeeks when i'm going at lower speeds

 

what kind of suspension are you on? have you check the spring to ensure that it sits properly on the perch and inside the upper hub?

 

check the shocks, might have a blew shock

 

i'm on GCs + stock shocks (don't worry, tokico illuminas are coming in soon). i heard this is a common problem.

 

WD-40 should not be used on anything, it's a horrible product. It's not a lubricant and will cause more problems then it's worth.

 

its most likely your shock, how many miles on them? on a lowered car u should replace the shocks with aftermarket shocks. and its also faster that way, bc now u have to take everything apart.

 

Really-? Bad experience??

 

It's a solvent, not a lubricant. When used to clean things it's great, when misused, like in this case, it's going to cause problems.

 

Well I suppose that's better than "....should not be used on anything, it's a horrible product."

 

I will say it differently, it shouldn't be used on anything automotive.

I bet you have a misalignment somewhere with thos eGCs. if they are not in quite right then you'll get noise.

 

what do you mean misalignment? like the spring is not sitting flat on the perch? my rear-right spring is now the only one squeeking, i jacked up the car almost 3 times already to reposition the spring but it only helps for a while. i think maybe i didn't screw the bolts on tightly on the shock tower in the rear because when i lowered my car, i might've gotten to excited and impatient so i half-assed bolting something down.

 

easy fix: spray silicon liubrication on your suspension

 

which part of my suspension? can you be more specific? thanks. the problem is now only concentrated on my rear, right suspension. i noticed that every time i readjust the spring, it remains quiet until i have passenger(s), then it starts to squeek again. i'm getting really frustratedddd so help please!
