squeak suspension?
« on: 30 May 2011, 10:31 »
Not sure how else to describe it but a squeeky noise when pressure is put on the suspension, even as much as me getting in the car or just rocking the front a bit. It performs well and is only around a year and a half old, its a Wietec kit. Would it just be something as simple as wd40 or something more serious?

Cheers :)

I'd start by greasing it up and see if that gets rid of it :wink:

It does it while driving along as well not just when handbrake on  :undecided: Top mounts were new VR mounts put on same time as the struts and springs, I'll try greasing them I guess

Spray with grease as a 1st step.
