squeak, squeak, squeak !!!
« on: 27 March 2013, 13:25 »

Last night on way back from gym i,ve picked up a annoying squeak when going over bumps a loud annoying squeak.

Car dosnt look any lower on ether side, had a look last night but was raining and windy so didn't look for long, and could not see a broken springs etc driven it to work today the sounds there when going over small bumps mainly and seams a little more bouncy.

Think one or both front shocks are gone, dose this sound about right?

is there anything else which could couse this ? or dose it sound like its the shocks?



Been out on my lunch and been bouncing the car see if can get it to squeak, when wheel was turned i couldn't make it squeak and if wheels were turned i could !

shocks look ok to me :-



Could it be the top mounts? or wishbone bushes?

Any help would be great as my car in the last two days has made me want to burn it out lol

its straight the f**ked dust sheald makes it look bit on the cock.



Checked springs rustie but no snaped or damaged.

Could it be a top mount or wishbone bush making the sound as they all need replacing

yep no broken bits or snapped ends spring was fine, first thing i checked

when  i first used car it seams ok but gets worse the longer i use it as last night did a 2-3 mile trip to take my old drivers seat back to my dads and only at the very end i started to hear it, and today was same got about 1-4 mile then it started and got worse.

just a thought cos my recaro squeaks sometimes over bumps , and hearing noises in the cabin can make you think they are coming from somewhere else cos of the way the sound reflects
