Hey guys, this isn't really a problem, its an annoyance. Whenever I go over a bump or whatever theres just this squeaking noise that is loud and very annoying. I think this may be my KYB Gas-a-Just shocks. Is this what this may be or am I way off? And is there any way to stop this? Thanks for the help.

 

Nah, there is no way in hell that can be the KYB's. That's your ball joints screaming for some grease.

 

...or the rubber pads that go on your spring perches are torn and you're getting metal to metal rub, or the insulator on top of the coil spring is worn giving metal to metal. A quick fix for that is take a piece of heater hose and cut it into a spiral strip, wrap it around the coil spring.

 

Could also be the bushings on the sway bar. Are they rubber or polyurethane? I've heard that polyurethane bushings really squeak if they aren't lubricated when they are installed. If I remember correctly, there was a thread on here not too long ago about this topic.

ya that was my post. i still cant figure it out.

 

could it really be my ball joints? when i installed my new front end, i lost a grease fitting in the process. maybe that could be part of the problem. but i lost the left side fitting, and it is my right side that squeaks. could it be the spring insulator rubbing on the shock tower? should i just replace all my polyurathane bushing to rubber?

 

Control arm bushings

 

upper control arms are likely the cause

 

control arm bushings FTW I have the same problem and am getting it fixed, go in and spray each bushing down with wd-40 to trace whether its contrl arm or sway bar.

 

This thread started in March. Why is it being brought up again?
