Front Right Squeak - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

djliquidsteele · 09-28-2015, 09:32 PM

So I've had a squeak in the front right wheel for a couple years that I thought was a blown shock. Well I recently replaced my shocks/springs with the Tein Flex Z's and I am still getting the same squeak. I only hear it when I hit a sharp quick dip in the road. There is one particular spot coming out of the business park where I work I hit every day. Its about 1 inch deep and about 1 foot wide. When the wheel hits the far side, squeak. Its not a pot hole, just a sharp dip like where they repaired the road and it sank in slightly.

Only other suspension component I have on the front is a Racecomp Engineering front sway bar. The only thing I can possibly think of is sway bar bushing not greased properly.

Any thoughts or help is greatly appreciated.

Many aftermarket bushings have a grease hole in them. So it is a possibility it just needs some grease.

Good to know. I'll get it up on the Stands this weekend.
