How to fix squeaky suspension?

[erasedhammer]

What do you guys do to fix squeaky suspension? Pressure wash the shocks? Lubricate them? Replace them?

Squeaks mean metal on metal. Something is worn out or needs grease.

my experience its the hoods that squeak, not suspension components. if yours are likely its too late to grease them, or the rubber components are in your a arm bushings are or weather checked

Get some larger friends to lift and depress the vehicle on each side while you are under it to listen.

ALSO, they sell special automotive squeak and knock detection sensors specifically for this kind of issue.

Best,

I use a SHUTZ spray gun to spray a lite coat of Marvel mystery oil all over the under side, (except the exhaust )here in the deep rust belt it helps with corrosion control as well !

When I got my truck it had a terrible squeak on the front end that sounded like suspension.. Turner out it was one of the lower ball joints..

my other lifetime selling parts screams what Daniel stated. Check Ball joints, but at this point if greasing stops the squeal, just know that is a temp fix and you should plan on some ball joint R&R in your future.
