Squeaky rear shocks
« on: 27 November 2009, 17:37:08 »
I changed my rear shocked about 6 months ago but now when the car is moving or i push down on the boot the shocks start to squeak .If i get someone to push the back down i can feel the noise thought the rear turrets.
The shocks were not cheap ones but up rated Janspeed items
Anyone got any idea's

If it's any good the squeaking noise sounds like a rubber rubbing sound.

Ah. Read this too quick. Missed the"when moving" bit. Mine squeaks when parked, hand brake on. Just the shoes in the hub is all. Ups.  :-[

Remove the top shock mounts and apply some silicon lube around the contact points before re-fitting

I'll get my son to try that next week.
Hand brake serviced and checked before i went away,it made the squeaking before this was done.

Could it be the spring/s creaking on the rubber mounts :-/.
