The worst thing about this car, is no matter how fast it try to get to where I'm going, it still burns a lot of gas.
damm tony... you better do a search

You really should have done a search for this. There are at least a dozen threads about this same issue and it touches a nerve with several members. You should try spraying some WD-40 on different parts of the front suspension to see where it is making the noise. What I'm saying is spray one part then drive it to see if it still makes the noise. This will narrow down what you would need to do to permanently fix the noises.

Re: Ground Control Problem

I didn't mean to step on anyones toes with my thread. I've done.many searches and have a subscription to all the threads that apply to what mod I'm doing. Most threads on here are redundant anyways. My bad. I'll figure out my noise on my own. it's better than getting your head bit off for asking help.

The noise is from the back springs not from the front, non of the other threads have an answer. I did do my search first i dont care if other people have posted this before, becuase so far there hasnt been an answer

Re: Ground Control Problem

hey guys! guess what i just found out?!?!?!?!?! hawk HP+ pads make a sqeek!!!! they are shit! noone should buy them! their braking power (which is very superior to many others [as gc is also in suspension world]) is not worth dealing with the noise... lol


and Justin311 its all good brother you had asked this a lil while back... not a day later some douchebag cant scroll down to read the same fcking thing! hope you get it resolved! (if you go with the bearings in the front... do as PISNUOFF did and get the unsealed ones. they are much cheaper then the sealed ones are and i have the sealed ones and still have the squeek).the unsealed ones mite give a lil more and might not be as tight as the sealed.. oh well

No prob. My problem is more in the rear. I have no noises coming from the front. I do believe that grease or some kind of rubber is a good solution for all these noises. I am going to work on my problem this week. It's definately not a squeak. This is what I did with my front suspension. Seems to do good.

Just to be clear on what fixed it - it is one of those $89 bearing/rubber collar things for which you provided a link in the other thread, right? If not re-explain it for me. Thanks.

Re: Ground Control Problem

I feel that it fixed it, but that's just me. All I hear is what is coming from the rear. Do the unsealed bearing first. Don't spend the money on just my .02 cents. The rubber bearings are suppose to have other qualities.

Re: Ground Control Problem

glad to see that worked in the front for you... i went the middle road (not unsealed or those you have pictured above) with the sealed bearing only for $33 each...

as for the rears my friend i have no help to give except be sure everything is tight and lubed up! if it still continues and you have done feffman fix &/or cut the sleeve as PISNUOFF did, you may have a f'ed up set of shocks or shock mount or sway link... i dont know man
