Hi I my suspension is squeaking something terrible at the moment replaced the stabilizer bushing but that wasn't it, it happens when going over bumps or any uneven surface really, it seems to be coming from all four corners - in wet conditions this is not a problem so it seems to be a lubrication problem anyone got any ideas?

it's gotta be your shocks then...
if you stand on your door sills (for example) and start bouncing the car up and down, do you hear it squeaking? -------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

you can't just lube it up, you'll need to replace them.

It might be your Figure 8s of your superstrut that needs to be changed.
Have a look on www.gt4oc.net for diagnosing whether it is a superstrut problem , they know more about the suspension on your car. example: http://www.gt4oc.net/viewtopic.php?t=67526...ighlight=squeak |
