So, recently... as its gotten colder ... I have started to get this sound, seemingly from my suspension. Its some sort of squeeking noise, but its not really a high pitched sound. Its pretty freakin' annoying... but I don't know where to start!

Anyone have any clues? I am riding on Tein CS Coilovers, and stock sway bars. Are there any specific lube points I should look at? What type of lube should I use (someone reccomended white lithium grease)? Anyone local wanna take a ride with me and help me diagnose it?

 

Sure it's the suspension? Cold can cause a lot of things to start making noise. I can go for a ride after work today if you want.

 

It really does seem like suspension, cause it happens when the car bounces up and down on the freeway, or going over speedbumps, or backing out of the driveway...

I hear a slight sound in front, when entering a driveway, but its a lot louder when the back tires move up and down independantly (like going into a driveway at an angle) ...

My initial thought was the sway bar bushings ... or that something may not be tight enough (I've heard some weird noises since the suspension install, and have looked over the bolts and nuts for all the connections without finding any issues)

I might have some time after work tonight Bill, but tomorrow might be better. I'll let you know ASAP.

 

I know earlier Tein flex are known to be pretty noisy, didn't know that CS was the same. But I thought they fixed the problem in the later flex? Try PM Jason (failsafe) he has the earlier flex and he greased the mount or something and the problem got a little better. (not too sure on the detail)

 

this is driving me nuts. It seems to be getting worse/louder.

I might have to put my suspension back to stock.

 

You want to look at it tonight?
