Okay, so I'm kinda new at this...but I am having a little problem with my 95 gsx. Whenever I come to a stop, it sounds like the suspension squeeks and it also happens when I back out and turn to the right. It seems to be coming from the front right tire, but I pulled the whole thing apart and didn't see anything rubbing or anything that could make that noise. It almost sounds like something's rubbing. I just don't understand it. I've only had the car about three months so I'm still trying to figure everything out...
if anyone could help me out with suggestions or diagnosis' let me know, please. I can't take the noise anymore!:confused:
 
I just put new brakes in about three weeks ago, this is a different kind of squeek.
I'll have to check out the bushings...that was my next guess but I wanted to make sure I was on the right track. Thanks a lot, guys:thumb:
 
Hey mon...Check the sway bar bushings. I don't know what a 2 g looks like, but my 93 used to sound like the subframe was about to fall off over large dips and bumps. I'm not sure how I knew it was the sway bar bushings, but it was. I went to a local farm supply store and bought a horse syringe. I had to sign for it, BTW. I guess it's cause of the needle. Anyway, I used it to inject vegetable oil between the bushings and the bar. Viola. That was back before the turn-o-the century, and it hasn't made a peep since. Still driving it everyday, too. If that isn't it, try your control arm bushings too, just to narrow it down. It's cheap and it wont damage anything.
 
vegatable oil and a horse syringe? haha, sounds like my kinda fix....I'll see if that works because I really, REALLY don't want to replace the bushings...I did the rear bushings and it took me FOREVER not to mention a real pain...but thanks for the suggestions.
