Chirping Suspension?

[dirtyd]

Yeah...Like a bird chirping when I go over bumps. Both front and back. Anybody else have this problem? I'm currently trying to teach my car to jump over these cracks that span the entire width of the road, but my efforts are for not.

Anybody have a diagnosis for me? Does the strut just need a lil lube-otomy?

Struts on these things are silly and squeak sometimes. You might have a cooked one, they like to blow.

First thing I would do is hit all the connections with this DEEP CREEP. All the F-150 guys do it to stop the rear leafs from squeaking on our trucks. But like Thom said it may be a bad strut.

I have some squeaking as well, and unfortunetly replacing the struts didn't have any affect on my noises, going to have to give that stuff a try

What timing!!!

I just started hearing a metallic sounding chirp/squeak going over rough roads as well. Wonder if it's the same thing. Mine sounds very metal on metal, almost like a brake squeak without the brakes being used.

Your problem is more likely related to the Cobb FSB you have. I know most of MY problem is the fact that the hotchkis bar is literally STUFFED in there...... I may have a wheel bearing going too, I think Mazda fucked up a little when they redid my engine mount.

Thanks for the help guys! I'll try the Deep Creep from Seafoam first. If that doesn't help, then I may remove the struts and lube them up. If that doesn't help...new struts and a lot of swearing!
