Hi folks, So I have just developed a front end squeak/creak when I drive slowly over a speed bump (well not me, the car). Sounds like a squeaky bedspring!
About 47k mls on the clock. No obvious uneven tyre wear
Any suggestions as to where to start would be gratefully received
Thanks
Alan

 

Have you already replaced your front upper shock mounts? If not, they are long since worn out now and could be the source of your noise....

 

Or it could be the upper A arm bushes. They can make quite a scary racquet when they start to go. Unfortunately I was never able to diagnose them in place (grease or trying to reproduce the noise when shes up on jacks).

Squeaks without clunks could also mean the sway bar bushings. As you can probably tell by now, there's so many pieces of rubber that might be causing this noise that you or a mechanic would have to check them out one by one to know for sure.

 

I had this problem about 3years ago,replaced the a arm bushes and all good ever since 👍
