Suspension squeak

[GNRakn]

Had my zed for just over a month, tried scouring the forum for an answer to my squeaking suspension but to no avail so attempting to find an answer here before I send her to a garage, basically ever speed bump or tasty pothole results in a squeak from the drivers side! Drives perfectly fine other wise apart from an occasional click when turn from stationary.

 

Any help greatly appreciated, even if that's just a link to a similar question.

Where's the click coming from, the rear? Possibly clicky drive shafts?

 

A knock from the front is usually the banana arm, a common fault. But a squeak - not sure. Sounds like a bush or a worn shock. You could try blasting all the bushes with WD40 until you find the one that causes the problem..

 

But I think your best bet is to get it into a garage who knows what they are doing. If you go to a main dealer they will probably insist on replacing with genuine nissan parts which are £££. You can buy cheap 3rd party banana arms for about £90-100 nowadays.

If it does turn out to be the compression arms I would avoid the cheap eBay ones if you are planning on keeping the cars as the ball joints on them are poor.

 

We sell the genuine Nissan arms at a non genuine price

Greatly appreciated advice! Once the winters over I'll send it do a garage I'm fond of! Didn't know if it was just a common problem with a relatively easy fix!
