Default Sweaking suspension??? inside for my fix.

Ok, my car has been getting worse by the day. Suspension sweaks for at least the first 10 miles of a ride. So I set the car up on the ramps and sprayed WD40 on all the rubber parts. After 3 day all the noise was still there.

I did it again and used ZEP Penetration Lube with teflon and the car rides like it was new. Smooth and zero sweaks. I soaked the crap out of all, and I mean all, the rubber in the suspension I could find. The ZEP worked 1000 times better than the WD40.

Just something I though I might pass along.

Mine always squeaks when the temperatures drop below 35 degrees outside...I always keep mine inside the garage.

When the weather warms up...the squeaks go away.
