Creaking Sound When Taking Speed Humps

Hey,

Noticed recently a creaking sound coming from the front left wheel when taking any speed humps/dips in the road.

When the weather is under 15degree's i get a loud scrubbing/creaking sound when i go up a hump or hit a dip etc. After 15degs its usually quiet unless i take a larger bump at faster speed etc.

If the steering wheel is turned to the right and i take a bump etc the sound seems to be there regardless of weather temperature.

This never happened before and just popped out of the blue.

It sounded like tyre scrubbing so i swapped to stock wheels but the sound is still there.

Took the car to suspension place and got all my adjustable bushes re greased along with a wheel alignment.

The problem is still there...

I currently have second hand KYB shocks with HKS springs.

Would this be my front left shock absorber creating the noise?

Any help will be great

Thanks :down:

I have the same issue but its because we painted the springs and the helper spring, so when I hit a hard bump, ie. speedhump, the spring compresses and makes a loud sqeaking sound.

Sounds different to your issue though, can you compress the car when its stationary and get any sound?

I have the exact same thing! I figure it is the shocks because mine are crap. My theory is that when it is cold they are not lubricated properly and it makes noise, but I probably don't know what I'm talking about :P

:yes: i have gone pas tthat stage and now the absorber is dead!... WRAPPED IN PLASTIC! mauahah

nah check your bushes.. seems like dirt has got in..

i need tien SS or soemthing for street/track and hills

yeah took it back for an inspection.

They said its most likely another bush which needs to be re-greased. Although its a trial and error process to find the squeaking one :spank:

      Yeah pretty impressive hey, good to see quality products not over-shooting their prices. That's what drew me to buy the hypergear turbo, just a shame I've never got the chance to see it in action

      Thank you GTSBoy and MBS206 I have done the compression test with the motor out of the vehicle, reason for the test was to see if I needed to remove the head and do rings etc while its out. I'm in the process of respraying the vehicle and tidying up a few things. Story behind it all is I've just purchased the skyline and it was running when I got it, never drove it on the street though as I wanted to pull it down and do it all up again before registering it. the gentleman I purchased it from told me the motor has a forged bottom end and has a decent tune through it but I was going to pull the sump off anyway to see if it is a forged bottom end. that's why I thought id do a compression test beforehand.

      Man, I'm kind of amazed that the price of the turbo has not changed in 7 years. Everything else is inflating beyond reason, but not this? Good on Tao / hypergear I guess? Anyways, good luck with the sale!

      I'm selling my brand new, in the box, never used Hypergear ATR45 - and I had some additions I paid for a few yrs back when I purchased it. Never ended up having the rest of the money to add all the mods at once, so I just ended up slowly selling each part. I originally had it internally gated, with the dump pipe, however I found it was incompatible with what I was going to use it for, so I contacted (I think Ken) from Hypergear, and he and I messaged back and forth & he got me to ship the turbo back, where they modified it & made it externally gated, and gave me the 5 bolt dump pipe attachment for custom welding. (Photos below) This turbo like I said has never touched the inside of an engine bay, it's completely brand new, never used, been sitting in the same box it arrived in, covered in plastic & all. Below are the photos of it: And while the guys at Hypergear were making it in-shop, they sent me some photos of the process: I'm looking at selling this just because I'm in need of the money right now, and don't have plans on modifying the 34 anytime soon - and from reviews & peformance sheets, this turbo had amazing results back when I was researching. The turbo was purchased in 2018 for $1.9k, with the mods I got added on. Looking at the website now, for the same turbo they sell (ATR45SAT), with the current addons it adds up to $1830 for the turbo Current addons included: - Bolted dump adaptor - Ball bearing CHRA - Braided oil feeding line So I'm looking to possibly sell it for around $1800, with shipping included in that 1.8k, It cost me around $120 to ship - so yeah thought I'd throw it out there and see if anyone was interested in purchasing. Cheers!
