Garyt350z Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 (edited) I'm gettin a squeaky rattle noise when goin over potholes, speed bumps and even when tapping the brakes. It's not banana arm or bushes tho cause i replaced both and used superpro bushes just about 2months ago. Could it be the shock? Or what else is down there that it's affected with them movements? Cheers in advance for any advice or help! Edited February 18, 2015 by Garyt350z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garyt350z Posted February 18, 2015 Author Share Posted February 18, 2015 (edited) Ps I think I have wheel bearing on its way out, but I can't imagine even with extensive wear that it would make that noise.

Mikey Thompson Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Is it definitely outside the cabin? The reason I ask is I thought I had a similar problem but checked out the cabin first. Few little bangs and wallops on different trim around the footwell did the trick. Still does when the car is cold from time to time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCook Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Never heard of a squeaky rattle... any chance you could record the sound? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brillomaster Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 by driver wheel, do you mean the steering wheel, or the front wheels? squeaks and rattles from various trim pieces is pretty common, around the windscreen can squeak in my car.

Garyt350z Posted February 20, 2015 Author Share Posted February 20, 2015 It's definitely outside the cabin, when i say squeaky I mean like mechanical squeaky sound like something is worn/dry and it's only when suspension is under load like rough road surface and speed bumps. It's fine when on smooth road. I would have assumed it was the compression arm (banana) if I hadn't already changed both after my passenger fell fault that common knocking sound, which cured that problem. but this sounds different in the sense it's not the same clonking/knocking noise. How would a front shock behave if it was knackered? Oh and yeah the front drivers wheel areas as opposed to the sterring wheel. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only 'clunks and rattles' when over a speed bump or rough surface. Wheels off for a look over the weekend...! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garyt350z Posted February 20, 2015 Author Share Posted February 20, 2015 Have u replaced ur banana arms yet? That usually the problem 90% of the time in these cases but am stumped cause I have mine upgraded and replaced already! ps it will he hard to tell if it is the banana arm or not by taking the wheels off, I just went thru process of elimination then bit the bullet and bobs ur uncle problem solved Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
