Squeak and Creaks Coming from Front

3002 tii · 04-21-2012, 09:39 PM

Originally was going to have a shop install my coilovers but found some time this weekend so thought I'd take a stab. Everything went pretty seamlessly but getting squeaks from the front at low speeds and when coming to a stop, anyone have any ideas?

Which coilovers did you install?

That's exactly the setup I'm considering for my M... interested in the outcome.

Sway bar end links?

I have clunking either from sway bar bushings (as per my mechanic) or maybe top strut bushing, or camber plates. Clunks when cold, quieter when warm. I have vorslag plates too.

Good luck and let us know if you solve it

squeaking......hmmm.......sounds like polyerathane. A little spray lube will take car of it for a while.

Figured out the squeaks, camber was so max'd out the top of the mounts were making contact with the shock mount edge. Having them pulled in a little did the trick.
