very worried! please help!

[shortman_alan]

my passenger side suspension squeaks quite abit when going over pretty much any and every bump. a do think its not to healthy. and it has got me a bit worried!
any help would be great. cheers

[shadou]

shocks gone? I haven't really got much experience with suspension but that's my first guess. Your car lowered on stock shocks?

[destrukshn]

shock might be dead.
bushes might be worn.
could be alot of possibilities really.

[shortman_alan]

ahh, no fun! that both take a fare bit of time and money.
and as time = money not happy. can it get really dangerous if i leave it to long.

[blk_shadow]

of course it will be dangerous to leave it for too long. just get it checked and quote for repair. better safe than sorry

[shadou]

probably my rears have gone for ages and I haven't had too much trouble except it really pisses me off everytime I hit something uneven on the road so very harsh.

[osman]

its probably your bushes needs replacing,

how old is your car??

[shortman_alan]

mm yeah, was thinking bushes. its a 92
but now there is the same kind of squeak when i turn the steering wheel! WTF!?
i only just had it in for a service! should i look into flushing and replacing PS fluid for that or is it something more dramatic?

and while looking at replacing my shocks. would it be cheaper for a spring and shock set up or a coilover setup? as i may as well get some nice ish ones on there and lower it a bit?

seems like everything is happening all at once and its all costing me a mint!
im sooo run down! working my ass off to pay things as it is!
so any help would be great cheers!

[shadou]

alan sigh* didn't you know that is part of the joys of owning your own car? Should have asked them to check over your bushes and shit with the service and it must have been a real dodgy mechanic not to have reported bushes and leaking shocks. I think there are cheap aftermarket shocks cos honda ones will cost you at least an arm tell me how you go cos I'm due for shocks as well

I kind of have the same problem as you, but mine only squeak in the morning when the car is cold and has been sitting there for like a day.. But then when i start driving it goes away, it only squeaks in the front.. its probably worn shockies and ther whinging to be replaced.. :) Im thinking of getting second hand coilovers, cause new ones will cost a arm and a leg too.. Is it a good idea to go for user coilovers? any experience people?

[shortman_alan]

mmm i thought it went away when i started driving. but, turned my music down and sure enough. still squeaking like crazy! im really worried bout the fact that when i turn the wheel it squeaks!

and sorry shadou. seems like its gonna be a little while before i get anywhere on this problem! which again is a little scary! as i need to get the front bumper and lights replaced and thats gonna cost me a bit. so even when i get it back i need to save up some cash!

is there by any chance it could be anything other then the shocks. not to bad if its the bushes. but any other causes ppl can think of?

fingers crossed i dont die lol
cheers

the flux capacitor probably has a small coolant leak or a dead short

nothing to worry about

[shortman_alan]

haha yeah i bet thats it! i have noticed that my car has not been as good at going back in time as it should be! being a honda and all!

[shadou]

lol fark better bring mine to an authorised honda dealer to get my flux capacitator checked out aye :p

[shortman_alan]

yeah not fussed bout that though. everyone in the past is a bit boring i reckon lol
but would any one know the reason my steering squeaks?

[shadou]

from the steering wheel? if so remove and squirt a bit of wd40 on a little white circle looking plastic bit (not a full circle) that's how I fixed mine
