The squeak is from the front eye bushings. Grease them once a year. I wish there were grease fittings. The rattles and banging is from the bolt on top of the spring. I had a piece of heater hose over the bolt for several years. It worked but wore out quickly. Now I have a 1/4" thick piece of polyurethane glued to the top of the spring. It is holding up much better than the heater hose.

Now if I could just silence my worn out strut rod bushings without tearing apart the whole front end i'd be happy. They make way more noise than the caltracs.


In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice, there is.
