Squeaking Suspension, Please Help!!!

my suspension is squeaking bad its annoying as hell. it makes a creaking sound when i go up slopes and squeaks when i bounce on little bumps. ive posted before and been told to lubricate the bushing on top of my ground controls, i did that no luck. then tonight i tried again and sprayed a few more bushings and that didnt help either. what da hell is is, please help. oh yea when it rains the squeak goes away so its gotta be sumpin the water touches, but that only lasts for like a day. any suggeations on what it could be or what products to use would be appreciated. thanx.

Have you tried lubing up the shock fork or maybe the lower control arm or tie bar? Give that a try and see if it works. That would be my only opinion.

Well, my suspension squeaks too, but it does it all the time.

I used Neuspeed race springs, 2 3/4" drop, and when I got them, the instruction sheet said to expect spring noise. I don't hear it most of the time witht the radio blasting 24/7 but when I'm not making much noise, it is very noticable over speed bumps and just audible when I hit a bump in the road.

I don't know if you dropped your car as much, but a good idea would be to jack up your car from the lower arms of your spindles so the suspension stays compressed. Basically, check if any coils of your springs are in constant contact with each other. If so, then thats the source of your noise.

I hope that helps.
