My cars suspension started to squeak a bit lately especially coming out of driveways etc, the cars an ef2 xr6 and has king springs.

I think i remember hearing a while ago that most people to just regrease the bushes and this usually stops the squeaking?

My EFII Fairmont has the full pedders sports rider kit and it too squeaks. Its the bushes in the top wishbone that are the culprit. What i usually do is spray a bit of WD40 in there and it lasts about 2-3 months. Driving in the wet washes the lubricant out of there but the water tends to moisten the rubber up anyways. I'm just being patient with it till i get my suspension replaced... Hope this helps

Thanks that does help but is the wd40 healthy for it? i thought it wasnt good to spray on the rubber?

use a good silicon base spray insted of wd40....

check your saddle bush's and grease some nipples :)

Silicon spray would be better.. shame i havn't thought about it till pracy mentioned it! Whatever you do though don't grease them up...

amother place these cars like to squeak is the sway bar body mount bushes. after a period of time the powder coating comes off the bar and beds into the bush. a quick clean with emery tape and a smear of rubber grease works wonders.
