My 07 Z is making squeaks as I go over bumps
I have a 2007 Z and I havent done anything to the stock suspension or brakes, but i did put in hotchkis sway bars last year. Whenever I am going over bumps (even a newly paved road that has some small ones) i hear a squeaking underneath my car. I dont hear it more when i am doing turns, so I can assume that the bushings to my sway bars have enough grease.
What could be causing this? My mil is 24000. I want to say suspension, but thats just a guess |
Where do you think squeak comes from? rear? front? driver side? passenger side? I'd ask one of your friend to stand by your car as you are going over a few speed bumps to actually locate it. You can save ton of time by doing this. After that, you can jack up the car and see what's up

i would try re greasing your sway bar bushings and see if it goes away to start
|
could be your rear shock gaskets being too dry.

If you hear it from the rear area almost from the wheel well, I had an issue here and my mechanic knew the Z well and replaced some hardware and stuff. See this link from my thread with the items.

ok well i found it and fixed it. i proped my car up and the first thing i looked at was the rear sway bar -- since i had installed that myself. lo and behold, of the 2 nuts per side that is holding it on, one side had 1 solid, 1 loose, and the squeaky side had 1 loose, 1 missing. I took my impact wrench and really tightened all 3 remaining, and brought the car down. The squeakiness is gone.
next step: go to ace's and buy stainless steel/galvanized 14mm nut, maybe a few more as replacements. To make sure this doesnt happen again, ill buy some locktite. also, be proactive and check my front |
