Anyone had bad squeaking from their suspension, especially when going over speed humps? I assume its LCA bushings, can anyone validate this, or have experienced a similar problem? Just replaced struts/springs all round and the noise was there before and is still there now. I'd be keen for some input. Cheers :o
Before you get trolled.
I warn, this is something the interwebs cannot really help you on. Best to take to pedders pay their i think it was $60? its pretty small. They will do a full inspection and let you know.
If you want to find out if its your LCA, then simply inspect them and post a photo we can help you from there.
squeeky trailing arm bushing is common on the Double wishbone civ/teg models.
but depends if you mean front or rear
I don't know if you've resolved this yet but the rear anti-roll bar bushes can squeak after a while. I found the best fix for this is to wrap some plumbers tape around the bar (where the bush rides)

or you could use actual bushing grease :)

any brand will do
do this one. Or even if you can't as temp. try and hear where its coming from give it a bit of wd40 as a quick fix, if it stops squealing. Put the bushing grease in. OR bajillion pumped PU on all bushings :DQuote:
