Come One! Come All! Everyone!
Alright, this is hands down the coolest thing EVER. Does your suspension make any noise? At all? Did you try tightening everything??? Did you try doing the brakes? Did some of it help, but there's that one thing that won't go away?
1. Get can of silicone lubricant 2. Crawl undercar. 3. Spray swaybar bushings with it. HOLY ******************!!!!!!!!! ITS AMAZING! Whoever suggested this, you are a god. WOW! I just changed my transmission fluid, filter (yech) and sprayed those, and I still have to flush my coolant, and install speakers! Yippee! Heh - Rob |

Mine is dead silent... since it never moves. I'll try that when she is actually up and running, though.

Just spend 3 bucks. You don't even need to jack the car up. I'm amazed at how much quieter it is.

Look at the lower control arm... the bottom part of the suspension that the hub is attached to. Well, on that control arm, there is a metal pipe that is attached to it, that goes upward, then through the middle of hte car to the other side. Spray the bushings that 'pipe' goes through.

i could be wrong, but i thought spraying silicone under your car can kill your O2 sensors.

Maybe if you sprayed it on them, or in your exhaust system somehow. BUt spraying it on the swaybar bushings?! I don't see how anything is going to get to the o2 sensors. You could also use white lithium grease, but then it would attract dirt and stuff, so I'd rather use silicon, or something like Tri Flow.

You do realize that the sensors are located on the exhaust system right? And that the swaybar bushing is in the wheel well?And that the backs of those sensors are basically exposed to the elements....
... They'll be fine. You could give a girl breast implants in the wheel well and the sensors won't care. It's not like they're silicon sensative through osmosis or anything. Sensor: "Oh crap! I sense a presence of silicon! I'm scared! I'm going to quit working so I'll get replaced!" Heh. Come on. - Rob |

It pains me to agree with Rob about anything... ....but I don't see how spraying silicone or anything else under the car is gonna affect the O2 sensors, since they are sealed up against the elements and are exposed to damn near everything that might drip off the car or whatever happens to be on the road.
