Suspension squeak over speed bumps

**ConR** · 14-07-2010, 05:11 PM

Hey guys...noticed this one today with my window open. It's not a rattle!!!

As I go over speed bumps, my front axle makes a squeak. Only happens on one side.

Is that something to get checked out? Nothing big that can wait until first service?

Thanks

Most likely only a bush flexing, especially if it's louder when cold. My 1988 Cressida did it from day one for the next 20+ years — nothing went wrong.

+1 for the bush...

Especially if it's been wet and a bit of moisture got to one..

I note you have ACC
Does it change at different settings?

hmm...I havent tried that out. I only pass 2 speed bumps a day when I get to work..haha. Will change it tonight and see how it goes. It's set to Comfort 95% of the time

Oh... then that's not a squeak that you're hearing....
... it's the sound of your car crying out to be driven!!!

Lol, I agree...but the roads I have to drive on to get to work are a killer...Pittwater mainly...brutal bumps and potholes...if I put it on anything other than Comfort, my butt kills me...and the car rattles like mad. Comfort eases it a bit...but still not by much.
