Squeaky suspension
Guys-
For the last year or so - the suspension on my car ('84 with Eibach/Bilstein combo) has been squeaky (I would say it sounds like a metallic squeak, not rubbery squeak) when I go over bumps. Reminds me of a NYC cab - you know those old 70's Impalas with a gazillion miles. Sweet.
Control arm bushings have about 35,000 miles/7yrs on them. What could be causing a squeaky suspension? - my logic tells me it seems like something you might hear with leaf springs - not coil springs.....but what do I know???
TIA-
Brandon

Can you narrow down the source (have someone bounce the car while listening closely)? Does it happen only when both sides are compressed together, or just one corner? How are your swaybar bushings?
