| Squeakey!! I think I hear some suspension creaking/squeaking going over bumps. I remember this was a problem on earlier models?  | ||

C, you could try spraying w-d40 on the attachment points of the shocks, tie-rods and control arms and see if that fixes it. to localize what is causing it, your may want to try one doing this one component at a time... | ||

Very creative...my fellow "Canuck"...........As for the sound..l agree..l don't think it would be the shocks..they are not leaking and they are just tubes filled with gas......As for the tie-rods...it could be the bushing for them..maybe even the bushing at the bottom of the shocks....does that sound possible??????????? | |

Any bushing is possible. If you ca get it up on a hoist, you could also check for play in the front end...including the wheel bearings, Very creative...my fellow "Canuck"...........As for the sound..l agree..l don't think it would be the shocks..they are not leaking and they are just tubes filled with gas......As for the tie-rods...it could be the bushing for them..maybe even the bushing at the bottom of the shocks....does that sound possible??????????? | ||

Ooops..I put my quote in your quote....does that mean we have to get married Any bushing is possible. If you ca get it up on a hoist, you could also check for play in the front end...including the wheel bearings, ball joints, tie rod ends etc. Remotely possible, body mounts? | ||
