HOW TO SILENCE FRONT SPRING NOISES?


Recommended Posts

I'm pretty sure my front springs are the source of suspension noises that I hear at low speeds and that I can cause by bouncing the front of the car at rest.

 

If I spray a bit of lube into the lower spring seats at the coils, it goes away.........but that's temporary. I've cleaned them, greased them, only to have the noise soon return.

 

What's the fix??

Thanks,

I had suspension noise that I traced to drop links.  Following the advice of others here I replaced all four.  However, I get creaks and groans mainly after dry weather and when travelling at low speed. I get a temporary cure by spraying the rubber bushes and spring mounts with silicone lubricant.  I can't find anything that's loose.   I did think the upper spring bearing might have dried out, so last week I took the strut out on the RHS, but it was not really short of grease and showed no signs of corrosion.
