Rear passenger coil over squeaking.
Hello,
On my 2013 Sicon FRS I have a set of JRZ RRS TWO - Double Adjustable Twin Tube Damper coil overs. Recently, one of the coil over on the rear passenger side only, has started to squeak. It only does this on even road at lower end speeds with very small bumps. If you push that side of the car down with your hands fast enough, it will start to squeak(this doesn't happen on any other side). I've made sure every bolt is tight and they all have blue thread locker, the sway bar end links are in good shape (white line), and everything else down there looks good in my eyes. Any suggestions? These coil overs were also rebuilt less than a year ago. |

It's probably the lower spherical joint squeaking.
As for what you can do about it... there's nothing much you CAN do. When a ball joint has started to squeak it's already too late. Ideally they would have been made with a grease fitting but as it stands, seems like they're built to die. Maybe spray a bit of oil on it in the hope it can wick into it but I wouldn't get my hopes up. |

Back in the day, when we had a suspension squeak, we would mix up a batch of coal oil and 30 weight oil (50-50 mixture) and put it in a squirt can. Then crawl under the car and squirt things till the squeak stopped. (Bubba approves this method) humfrz |
