Hey.

I had this happen to me a year or so ago. Brought it to the dealer and they replaced some stuff, I forget what. I think bushings, but not to sure.

As for the diagram, I’ll see if I can get a screen shot for ya tomorrow.

Any new info from Vogtland?

My friend has a 2001 Lexus IS300 and he had this exact problem except it was the suspension on the driver's side...both front and rear. He brought it to the stealership and I think they just replaced his bushings...but charged him an outrageous price (can't recall price off the top of my head)...then later on the same problem occurred to his passenger side and the dealer that time replaced his whole suspension on that one corner of the car... -_-....i say just bushings.

I did some more research and it i only on the passemger front side.... do you know what kind of bushing i need?.....


IM gonna call vogtland tomorrow.

Mine is pretty noisy up front too, like a creaking noise when I go around corners slow or over speed humps, pretty embaressing If I have people in the car when it makes noise, should get it looked at too.

I have this same noise...but the dealer could not replicate the sound. I can only hear it when it is on a cold start up...but after the car warms up, I dont notice it...

I have another appointment on Wednesday...hopefully telling them about the bushing they will find something...

Thanks for the info guys...

I have the same problem.
I noticed it doesn't do it when it rains.

Water gets inside bushings so you don't hear it. Take it to the dealer

Or, get some grease and lube all of the joints that have to do with the suspention. Cheaper fix.

if its not to cold one day this week im gonna jack it up and see if i can spray some wd-40 on the suspension components hopefully that works

WD-40 wouldn't do it,
You need a heavy grease.

Vivid

On my auto X cars I used to grease them up once a year. I never had one creek or anything.

If it's rubber bushings are making nise, the grease will be washed out in just few days.

My 2002 Sport Coupe had an annoying sound from the front suspension. Over many visits to the dealer the following items were all replaced under warranty:
Both front stabilizer bar connecting links
Both front stabilizer rubber bushings
Both link rods for front stabilizer
It took three visits to replace all of the above items. The sound (always fainter but still there) recurred two weeks after each fix.
The final fix that cured the problem (which was at my expense) was to replace both front brake rotors. My car is used very little so the brake discs rust over between uses. The back side of the rotors was so rusted it was interacting with the suspension and caused the noise when the suspension was "loaded" such as when the car went over large (and sometimes small) bumps.
Every car I have owned creaks a little when first driven in ice cold weather. Most noises disappear when the suspension is heated up.

my sport coupe sqeeks in the early mornings, when the car is cold. I'm gonna bring it into the dealers for a check.

Guys,

I just need help here. I heard this squeaking sound everytime I turned and it sounded really bad.People kept telling it was the thrust arm/bushings.My car is still under warranty.

Now, are thrust arms/bushings covered by my warranty? and I DO have aftermarket suspension ( Tein Basics )..Would the dealership be ok with that?!

Appreciate the answers guys..

Nick..
