Paulzx Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 Hi everyone, A quick one for you guys as I'm sure people have come across this before. So I only drive my GT4 maybe once or twice a week, it was never a daily driver for me, but recently I've noticed when I start driving the car, initially I'm getting a little squeak as I drive over a couple of slow speed ramps, so it's quite noticeable. If I do a reasonable drive and come back, it doesn't happen on the way back over those speed bumps. Seems obvious the shocks are squeaking through non use? Unless something else is happening that I haven't thought of, but is this the beginnings of a problem down the line? I've had the car a number of years and never driven it that frequently, but this squeaking has only just become noticeable recently. What do you guys think, should I be concerned?

Mikey_S Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 (edited) I get this on cold mornings, it never really bothered me, just assumed a bit of stiffness after standing still in the cold (like my knees ). Interested to hear from others with experience though Edited May 23, 2020 by Mikey_S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulzx Posted May 23, 2020 Author Share Posted May 23, 2020 I'm actually getting it even now, in the warm weather! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZMANALEX Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 Just do a bounce test on a flatbed ramp and lub. all the moving parts (bushings) with a copious amount of WD 40 or similar until the squeak disappears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
