[ezekiel10]

Hey,

I've noticed lately that on my drivers side when driving i get this " creeking noise " ? i dont know if its my suspenion or yeah, ive heard that it could be the upper control arm bushes. Im not sure but id like to get rid of it quick.

Thanks heaps.

I also have this problem. Both sides from the struts, pretty much only when its cold. Im assuming may have something to do with strut brace? It may be too tight or too loose? Can someone verify please, it is quite annoying.

i suggest if you change wheels or anything in the suspension department finish the job off by changing the bushes.

remember your bushes are more then 10yrs old and good chance have had a hard life.

Could be a worn out shock. Worn out shocks usually make a 'rubbing' 'creaking' noise when going over speed humps.

Like what's said above, probably best to change the bushes while you're at it.

Yeah " NRV155" same with mine when its cold, but yeah ill get on to changing the bushes and hopefully thats it.

Thanks

could be tie rod end bushes or control arm bushes

Ill do the same. If you get it done first, post back and tell me if it fixed the problem. Ill do mine in a couple of weeks.

My car was doing it really badly coming off the motorway tonight.

My r33 has been doing this alot lately, i can hear it the most when turrning the wheel at slow speeds(ie speed humps), and when pulling into a driveway at angle etc....it sounds like the squeel is coming from the rear, but i can hear the front as well.......sound travels though,.....what is this?and will it progressively get worst?

hrmm i got my bushes changed last week (camber,castor) and i have a creeking sound coming from front passenger suspension when i go over speed humps..Never had that problem before i changed the bushes? Any idea on what it could be?

[NRV155]

Well, i took my car to the mechanic today to show him and of course the noise wasnt there, not even going over speed humps. He said when it starts again to go straight to him so he can have a look. Until then, ill never know.

haha don't you hate it when that happens? You go to show someone to show them what's wrong with the car and the problem never happens.

did camber/castor bushes front, rear camber kit, whiteline swaybars with the associated bushes, new bilsteins means that the eye in the bottom of the shock in the rear wont squeak, it was the bushes/bars that stopped my creaking.

[Rekin]

Do urethane bushes squeak?

Basically NO. squeaking is caused by high frequency vibrations that can be heard rather than felt. Usually the cause of squeaking is the incorrect application of grease (not greasing the correct areas eg: flange faces & internal bores), greasing the incorrect areas (outside of bushes designed to be installed inside the suspension component) or even over greasing (applying grease everywhere), however the presence of rust, paint or rubber deposits between the bush and the component or housing can also be a major factor.

if your mechanic or you doesnt properly lube your bushes, put the tools down

[Greg]

Check swaybar bushes - may need a bit of lube

[WazR32GTSt]

check your brake pads..

i had this same "creaking" noise on my R32 but could only hear it at low speeds

turns out it was the fact that my break pads were so lowthat the pistons in the caliper were creaking from having to move so far to engage the pad!

Haha reminds me of my old VN SS. It was an auto and was stalling constantly. So much so, I wouldnt bother driving unless I really had to. Took it to a workshop, they had it all day running and constant driving. No stalling...

Got it back the next day. Stalled constantly and I then sold it to a mate and never had the problem EVER.

(And no, it didnt have a clutch! )

Back on topic, my car does this too.. only out of my driveway in the morning.. I suppose everyone has to wake up
