Ted E. Bayer - Hillclimbing Understeer is when you hit the mountain with the front of the car and oversteer is when you hit the mountain with the rear of the car. Horsepower is how fast you hit the mountain, torque is how far you move the mountain. |

A cone?
Noooooooooo... then you lose the whole "spirit" part! Ted E. Bayer - Hillclimbing Understeer is when you hit the mountain with the front of the car and oversteer is when you hit the mountain with the rear of the car. Horsepower is how fast you hit the mountain, torque is how far you move the mountain. |

So got tired of hearing the squeak and unloaded about a quarter can of white lithium grease on the shocks and low and behold... no squeaking for the time being.
Pretty sure thats the problem so ill be replacing those as soon as i find a way to make some money without an income.  FYI Parents don't pay for a penny of aftermarket for the car. |

RE: Squeaking/Popping/Clunking Suspension
Thought i would bump this thread. While the shocks were sitting exposed I took the tops off and degreased and re-lubed everything I could get too. Also the front sub-frame bolts were NOT torqued anywhere near spec so some of the clunking could have been caused by that.

RE: Squeaking/Popping/Clunking Suspension
I'm sure that gave you a nice warm feeling to know the sub-frame bolts were not tight, lol.
