Loud Squeek
I've always had a intermittent loud squeek in the front end of my 63 roadster. It sounds like it's in the coil spring. In the past, I've sprayed some lubricant on the top and bottom of the spring and it stopped. Now lubricating doesn't work. Is there anything specific that I should try to tighten or should I plan on replacing the front coils?

Thanks, I'll try greasing the ball joints. I'm pretty sure that the bushings are shot too. They might be original, I can actually spin two bushings around. I'd like to find someone local that's familiar with a 63 suspension. I don't want to do just the bushings if I need something else.

Try spraying the control arm bushings with WD40.
There is nothing special about a 63 front suspension as it was used on most cars in the sixties. Any good front end shop can replace the bushings.
