Has anyone noticed their suspension squeeking over speedbumps and other dips or bumps? I was thinking it was my sway bar bushings. When it is really hot out (like today) it seems to get worse. Rubber expanding creating more friction? I will pull down the panel tomorrow to lube it. Anyone else experiencing this? Car sounds like an old crown vic.

 

It's a common problem. Front bushings. I think there was a TSB on it a long time ago.

Had it on my 05 and was fixed at my 30K. So far no problems.

 

havent had that problem yet(fingers crossed) but lubing the front bushings on both sides should do the trick!

 

Can't hurt to try the sway bar bushings as well.

When i finally got tired of the increasingly annoying squeak on the G, i dropped the rear sway (already replaced the front with aftermarket) and greased the living daylights out of it. All that was left of what was originally there were tiny powder specks.

It's been squeak-free since. Used AMSOIL Synthetic Multi-Purpose Grease.

 

Do you mean that I should lube where the top of the spring meets the bushing?
