Squeaking like a Stagecoach!!

Postby MIASXT02 » Wed Jan 06, 2010 10:16 am

I just got a 02 SXT. The car is great, just a few minor fixes. Everyone now and then when I take a turn it squeaks. My thought is it's the suspension or shocks. Now I'm not entirely sure if it is. Just seeing if anyone could confirm that. Also what should i replace it with, I don't want to go stock, and I don't want to go super expensive.

It sure sounds like a suspension issue, and if that's the case, try modernperformance.com, they have some good prices on their struts and springs. I ordered mine from there, but have yet to put them on due to the car being broke down at the moment. I ordered the tokiko struts which I think were about 200 dollars, and the springs I got, which are Eibach, I think were around 400.

umm try lubing all your suspension as well before you go replacing anything, it just might need some grease.

btw laura where did you get tokico's for 200$?

Thanks for the info. I'll lube them down tomorrow morning and see what happens. Checked on that website, they have some good prices.

yup sounds like it to me, i'd change out the bushings and get the full prothane bushing kit for it also. help stiffen everything up a bit and they last a lot longer than stock rubber bushings.
