I know pretty much nothing about cars, and whenever i hear sounds or feel vibrations that im not used to i get overworried. So before i drive to the mechanics, and throws away my paycheck, i just had to throw 2 questions out on the forums.
For the record, i have a 1994 celica (think its an 3f-ge, the one with about 175HP) with manual transmission.


1. My suspension all around the car gives out alot of squeaking noises. Whenever i go over a bump or uneven road (in other words, whenever the suspension is compressed) it squeaks ALOT.
This sound emits from three of the four suspensions. My question is if there is any common problem that gives this squeaking, something that might be easy or even cheap to fix?


2. At low rpms, usuly at low speed or in neutral, there is a whining noise coming from "somewhere". It disappears if i press down the clutch, but if i release the clutch again it comes back. Also, if i put the car in neutral, depress the clutch and then release it quickly i hear a small THUMP and feel a faint single vibration.
Is my clutch going to hell?


Im sorry if im not clear, ive tried to describe my problems as good as i can, but i hope someone can give me some ideas as to what may be the problem with my car.

im getting some new swaybar bushings tomorrow and next on my list will be replacing the front shock absorbers (which seems to be whats causing the horrible sqeaking) and replacing the rear suspension arms (or just the bushings if possible).

Im going to ask at my local toyota dealer about the price on these items but i know ill get a headache just by thinking about it so if anyone here could direct me to a good and relyable arftermarket online store that ships to sweden id be very thankful!

To recap, im looking for shock absorbers for the front suspension and either complete replacements or just bushings for the rear lower suspension arms.
