Front Ride Height Adjusters
I've got the squeeky sound when I go over speed bumps. I did the sway bar bushing thing, but that wasn't it. I even removed each shock and cleaned all the bushings and mounting points. I've 99% sure it where the springs adjusters ride on the front a-arms and where the rear spring mounts on each side. I can buy the rear mounting rubber, but when I went to the dealer to buy new front adjusters they tell me there's no part number for them; you have to buy the entire spring! That's insane to me. Those rubber pads are bound to take a lot of abuse and suspension travels up and down, why in the world would they not provide replacements? I can jack the car up by the spring to where I can put a small amount of grease under the rubber adjuster and squeak goes away for a few days. I suspect the rubber pad has worn so smooth and has simply aged to the point that the rubber is just hard. Anybody out there no of any one that makes replacements or has any suggestions? I was also surprise to see that the only thing that keeps them from turning is a small sheet metal washer. You'd think something that could affect the alignment would at least have a locknut on it. Anyway, any ideas? Thanks,
