mini valver Posted January 11, 2011 Posted January 11, 2011 hello peoplehave only noticed other the past couple of days but there is a squeeking noise coming from the front sounds like drivers side. the car has coilovers but have only prob covered 2k at most and everything is tight. thinking posibly engine mount but not sure any ideas Quote
greasemonkeyspb Posted January 13, 2011 Posted January 13, 2011 have you looked at rubber bushes on drivers side?? maybe anti roll bar or bottom arm bushes creaking i know what you mean though squeaks are well irritating, plus the coilovers being really hard will exaggerate any noises that may have occurred before you had them fitted so that maybe why this noise has occurred.is it only when you go over a bump??

mini valver Posted January 13, 2011 Author Posted January 13, 2011 its stopped now the car is on its second set of coilovers. have discoverd it is my coilover on drivers side. aint looked yet boot sounds like a spring has snapped Quote
greasemonkeyspb Posted January 13, 2011 Posted January 13, 2011 if a spring has snapped would produce a knocking noise due to the metal clonking together dependant upon what rubber mounts are on the coilovers being that may have been the problem due to new rubber squeaking if you can imagine new rubber being tight and when metal and rubber twist together may have caused the squeaking noise.glad you sorted it though mate Quote
mini valver Posted January 14, 2011 Author Posted January 14, 2011 lol had a look today and the coilovers are still mint nothing at all wrong with them. no sqeek no more sounds like the fucking wheel is going to fall off had it on a lift no play in any thing at all coils are mint all the bushes are mint got me stumped. wheel nuts are tight. only thing i can think possible engine mount, drivers side never been changed and the car is making alot more power than stock Quote
greasemonkeyspb Posted January 14, 2011 Posted January 14, 2011 could be worth checking it out when does it mainly happen??? under accelleration and de-celleration??and you say all the bushes are fine?? bottom arm bushes can make that noise when starved of grease Quote
mini valver Posted January 14, 2011 Author Posted January 14, 2011 all i can feel mate is when i go over bumps somthing almost rattling but not a rattle if you no wat i mean. think when i go over bumps but not sure as the slitest lump in the road van cause it. Quote
