Bad strut?
Wednesday, November 09, 2005 11:07 AM
well i had wreck my front drivers side about a month ago. the tire got pushed into my fender cause i fu**ed up my subframe. the sumbframes already been replaced along with the inner and outter tie rod, also the ball joint and finally the haftshaft. now it seems i get this bad sqeeking noise from that side its getting real annoying.

Will a bad strut sqeek like that? it sounds like its coming from the strut. i could be wrong but who knows. thats just my guess.


Thank you,
nick

Could be a slightly bent strut. Could also be a number of other things. What kind of bushings did you use on the control arm?

Urethane bushings will squeak if you don't use a good lube (teflon). Rubber (stock/oem) doesn't squeak usually, that's why I ask.

can i lube them with them on the car or would i have to take them off. the control arm on the drivers side was replaced also. i got it from the junk yard along with the subframe. it was never taken off though. could it have dried up sitting in the junk yard?
