Front Suspension Noise

Gabes Redline · 05-20-2008, 01:43 AM

Hey Folks!!
I just noticed a small squeeking/poping noise when making a left turn to drive up the curb of my drive way. Any one else have this issue??

Haven't heard that one before, but anytime I have a suspension noise G8TR heads straight to the dealer. That is one of those problems that I will not personally mess with.

check out your shock on that side and make sure it isnt leaking oil as some have done in the past

Same here, had the same squeek, would have sworn it was coming from the rear bushings but they replaced the front bushings and clamps and it went away. There's a service bulletin on the front bushings................

mine seems to do that but only when cold... its wierd. once it warms up there is no sqeeking or anything. should i be concerned?

I took it to my dealer for the same issue. Bushings and brackets replaced. Rides better and is much quieter. Covered under warranty.

Best of luck.

The bushings on the new parts are of a differant rubber and work better when the cold sets in...Skip...

I noticed the same thing the other day when I got to work. Replaced the bushings and it was all good.
