I've been noticing my car squeaks when I get in and out of it. Is it just old bushings causing this? Car has 68,000 miles, probably all original stuff on there. I was thinking of getting new springs, shocks, bushings, and an APHR. I'm also upgrading to LS1 brakes so I figure, if I'm in there, I might as well replace it all

What kind of spring/shock combo works at the strip?

 

Sounds like your shock bushings deteriorated. Good idea on the mods. Go with 50\50 shocks like lakewood offers.

 

What about springs? What matches the Lakewoods? Eibach, DMS?

 

The rear springs squeak on their bottom metal perches. Just put some grease where the spring sits on the perch and it will go away.

 

My car does this too but I only hear it when I go over a bump or imperfection in the road when the car "bounces" down and then back up if I get into a pot hole or something.

What type of grease should be used on the spring perches? Would white lithium grease be alright?

 

I used the regular all-purpose grease and havent heard a peep in over two years.

 

Mine does it in the rear too. I just figured it was brushings or the springs and am not worried. I will get to replacing them someday

 

my car is squeaky in the front i think it is my a arm bushing its really annoying i try greasing them but only works for a short while and my springs/shocks are only 1yr old
