As the title says, anyone else have sqeaky tein SS's? more so in the front than the rear. How do you fix this?

 

first go back and check all the bolts, and that the spring is setting correct in the stops
The locknuts below the spring are tight to each other is another one
Final tightening of all the bolts once its on the ground and the suspension is weighted helps
A little dab of grease on the upper rubber mount may help-

should not be a noise so find cause

 

alright , gonna take a look,. thanks

 

What sort of squeak do you mean? Does it sound like a spring or perch squeak? Or does it sound like a squeak in the strut itself? My fronts squeak when I go over speed bumps but I do not think it's the springs. I think it's coming from the strut itself. The only way I can explain the squeak is comparing it to an R/C car shock. When an R/C car shock needs a rebuild it has a very distinctive squeak when you push the piston in and out of the shock body. This is a similar sound to what I hear in my car when I go over speed bumps.

 

yeah it only squeaks when i go over speed humps..its progressively getting worse cuz it starts squeaking when i go over little bumps now...can't tell if its the spring itself or struts..i personally don't mind it too much but my passengers are like.."wtf is that?"..lol

 

I have the basics and my front left squeeks when i go over bumps slowly, and also when I accelerate... it's becoming progressively worse. I think it may be the bushings that wrap around the coil.

 

thats what my friend said it might be, the bushings...gonna take a look at it tomorrow with a buddy of mine that owns a shop...
