I HAVE GOT TO fix the squeeks!

[PalmerWMD]

My car sounds like a toddlers sqeeky toy when ever the road is less than perfectly smooth.

FSB bushings are new.I am willing to pay $$ to stop it.

Any points of attack folks recommend?

Turn up that nice BOSE stereo.

Is it from the front? I've had squeaks 3 times since buying the Q. New front upper links fixed them every time. Could be something else, but I'm 98% sure it's a bushing of some sort. If not upper links, then maybe sway bar bushings.

[PalmerWMD]

Yes,

Its from the front.My upper links are stillen adjustables.

Hate to sacrifce them..But I will if I have to.

From a web page about upgrading suspensions - "Be sure to use the supplied assembly lube or a lithium grease when inserting the bushings and sleeves to eliminate suspension squeaks"

And from http://www.nyeautomotive.com/steering.htm "Vehicles used to have grease fittings simply because the original grease wasn't designed for the life of the component. All Nye's steering and suspension lubricants are. They eliminate squeaks and rattles from power steering gears, ball joints, shock absorbers, and other mechanisms. They also are engineered to resist water and salt water, tolerate high loads and vibration, and minimize friction and wear — even on rough terrain where steering and suspension components take a beating."

I've never used the Nye stuff, but have you tried anything on the bushings?

What's the benefit of the Stillen adjustable links?

What's the benefit of the Stillen adjustable links?

They dont wear out nearly as quickly as the stockers and supposedly make it easier for a lowered car to not have excessive camber.

Rex:

Thanks, I'll look for that.

Have you greased the fittings on your upper control arms?

I didn't know you could get adustable upper links from Stillen...I thought you could only get adjustable tension rods.
