Hey guys,

I own a 2002 wrx with almost 90k miles on it. Just recently the suspension has been squeaky when I go over speed bumps etc. I'm not sure whether or not it is when its cold out, but with auto x coming up soon I wanted to get these checked out or figure out whats wrong with them before I race. It is the stock suspension plus sway bars and endlinks which were installed a couple thousand miles ago.

 

with new sway bars, they may need to be greased. have you checked them?

 

i thought about that, but its not on cornering or anything plus the the sways were installed a long time ago and were properly greased. I keep thinking its the shocks.

 

when standing next to the car can you bounce it on each corner to see if you can isolate the squeak to one corner? then maybe rise the car on jacks and do a little investigating

 

^ good call man. Only prob is I can hear it from all four corners for sure, but jackin up the car and taking a peek isn't a bad idea.

 

time for a new suspension?

 

^^ thats what I was thinking. I already started looking around online on what is going to be my best bang for my buck wise, coilovers or struts and springs combo etc.

 

well i had to it inspected and from the looks of the struts...nothing wrong with them and to make matters more confusing...the noise is gone

well...phantom noise 1, me 0
