Anyone want to look at the squeaking from my car?
It's driving me crazy. It's bad when I'm cruising on the expressway when it's not very smooth. It doesn't make a lot of noise when I'm a smooth city road. Someone mentioned my springs, and it does sound like it's coming from that area in the front and back.

I fought mine for a while before I found the same thing. Finally decided to change the rear shocks to see if that helped. When I removed the foam cushioning there was the nut. Re-installed the nut, problem solved.

Check the rubber bushing that’s on the bottom of the shock. It’s the bushing that goes between the 2 bolts that hold it to the lower A-Arm. If that bushing tears or dry rots, then you have a metal to metal contact and it will squeak. . It happened to me before.

I haven't had the time. And when I do I'm usually a little worn out or have to work on homework, etc. I mentioned it to my Dad last night so we'll probably take a look at it this Saturday, hopefully. It'll probably be a good idea to grease up the bushings and what not too for starters.
