Suspension Squeak

[Joe Isuzu]

Thanks for the help guys. I will try the rubber hood bumpers and hood latch angles first. I did just have the hood latch worked on as it wasn't opening anymore.
I also tracked down the website for Moncha's bushings as well in case I need to go that route. Never replaced bushings myself though. I take it by reading other people's quotes that it's very easy. I'm guessing most of the work is mustering the will to try it and the strength needed to unlock some rusted bolts.

One way to temporarily fix the sway bar squeaks is to lube the robber bushings with silicone spray. Works fine for simple road use.

joe, where did you find the bushings that Moncha used to offer at? i havent looked very hard, but if you already have the site would you mind posting the link? my vx doesnt squeak.. but i like the sound of the handling performance improvement from them

etlsport,

I believe those are Energy Suspension part numbers in the link you posted...

IIRC, I took those part #'s to Auto Zone & they ordered them for me.

pardon a, perhaps, silly question -

would swapping the stock bushings with the upgraded ones require an alignment, afterwards? like etlsport, i dig the improved handling bit.

thanks.
