Hi guys,
My car has developed a strange nearly constant squeak. I originally thought is was coming from under the dash, but I now think it's in the front left suspension. It seems to be worse on a relatively level road...as if something is rubbing in a squeaky sweet spot. When I push down on the left front fender I def hear a squeak, though it's not quite as high pitched as when I'm driving. The really strange part is that sometimes the squeak goes a away completely....and then returns from out of the blue. Any ideas? Thanks! |

As stated above, installing the rubber Elephant control arm bushings isn't all that hard. If you see wear on your torsion bars, they are easily available. I have a pretty clean set of stock ones and using something beefier/aftermarket, really stiffens up the front end.
I have a clean set of torsion bars available and I'm sure Bruce has quite a few sets too. |
