A few days ago I hit a curb going pretty fast. Ended up having to replace shocks, control arm, and a few other parts on my front left wheel. I noticed a little noisce coming from what I thought was the windshield area. I opened my hood and pushed down on the suspension. Theres a little squeak sound, its louder while your are driving over bumps or turning and inside the car. I was just wondering if it had to do with the steering or any thing that is important. I was thinking afterword it could just be the new shock making the noise, but I rember the same noise on the ride home after hitting the curb. Should it be any thing to worry about? The car drives fine so every thing seems fine with me, just thought I would check on here.

 

you could have slightly tweaked the frame ... did you have it aligned after you fixed it ?

 

I assume this is on your '02? If so, you could have tweaked the upper strut mount bearing plate.

 

Yes this was on my 02. I got two new strut mounts up front, would that be part of the bearing plate? Also is it any thing to worry about? And I also got it aligned

 

Yes, it would be. Did you notice if the noise started before or after the repair? If it started after the repair they could have not gotten the bolts all the way tight or don't have the spring correctly seated into the pocket.

 

I noticed it before I took it to the shop, I'm pretty sure it was the same. I drove it to school today and back and didnt notice it nearly as much, but I also had the windows down. I'll go check and see if it still does it as much as it did.

 

Seems like it still makes some noise, not as much but its still there when going over bumps/turning.
