GNRakn Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 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.

kano Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ewen@Clark Motorsport Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GNRakn Posted November 17, 2014 Author Share Posted November 17, 2014 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
