noisy front suspension
Sunday, June 12, 2005 5:57 PM
recently noticed that my front driver side wheel makes a squeeky sound when going over little bumps, when i go over dips doesn't make any sound but a bunch of little bumps and it gets noisy, what could it be????? i sprayed it with some silicone spray and it only helped a little, it has been raining a lot but it was even doing it before that? any help would be appreciated. thanks in advance.

It's probably your strut mounts. I had the same problem. I sprayed it with some lube and the noise went away for a little while then it would come back. I just changed the mounts a couple weeks ago and no noise since.

Front strut mounts run you about $100 or a little less. Some auto parts stores have it. Remember that you can fit strut mounts from 95-02 cavalier or 03 and up, all J-body cars have the same suspension parts.

While your taking out the struts themselves, I'd say upgrade your struts to KYB GR-2s. They are stock replacements and will work a little better. They don't cost that much. Do searches on the prices and shop around.

Good luck to you.
