I recently got my z aligned, but i guess i made a stupid mistake of driving my car late at night in downtown houston. (if you all know houston has bad bumps and holes) I guess I hit a bad bump and next thing you know the car is making squeaks and noises at low speeds, turning right/left, braking (excluding brake noise). Outside of the car, it makes noises when i push down by hand on top of the front fenders.

I brought it back to the shop where I had my alignment (SW Alignment on richmond). All they could say was that the alignment's ok and Stillen front camber arms i had, had no grease on them. So they greased it.

But the problems are still there.

NEED HELP...pls!

i have an 05 Z with TEIN flex coilovers, Stillen F&R camber kit and rear toe arms. Z is lowered about 1.5" front and rear.

I read about this kit on the website:

"On some vehicles this kit can uncover existing suspension noise that was masked by the stock soft rubber bushings, this is a normal by-product of eliminating suspension slop, and is not generated by the STILLEN part itself."

How can i eliminate that noise?

 

When I bent my front-right rim, I started getting squeaking noise at low speeds too. It was coming from the right-rear wheelwell though which suffered some impact as well. I went off the road about 1ft, hit some dirt/rocks/storm drain. I walked outside my car to ghostride it and confirm the sound lol. The sound went away for a while, I thought it was some dirt that got into my calipers perhaps, but the other day I heard it again. The noise isn't incredibly loud, but bothers me none-the-less.

BTW, I'm currently all stock suspension, so it might not have anything to do with the fact that you're using aftermarket parts.

 

It's been a few days since I started hearing the squeaks. I didnt hear it this morning driving to work because it was raining. I think the car's temperature and ambient weather/temperature/humidity determines the noise level of the squeaks lol. I guess I have reason to turn up the music.

I still wonder though....

Anyone have any thoughts/experiences with lowering their Z or have setups similar to mine?

 

It's the Teins. From my personal experience I have come to find that they are very noisy coilovers.

 

i have the same coilovers...its the suspension, my Z makes creaking noises at low speeds, mainly on take off and turning....its nothing to worry about

 

thnx everyone.
