Front suspension squacking ?

[Cornpatch MO]

I had a constant noise in the left front suspension of my 1968 Sport Satellite . I could not find where it was coming from . Rubber bushings are fairly new . . I finally found it ... the shock absorber rod making the seal squeel .

That'll do it.....

Sorry to say, that was not the problem . I drilled a small hole in the outer tube and siliconed the P out of it ... Still squeeks .

Maybe the shock mounting rubbers are shot, causing the squeak.....or the shaft seal is dry.

It can be any of the front bushings on that side. Did you rebuild with poly or rubber ?
Noises , lol, Steve I chased a buzzing sound for awhile, Ended up one of my Flowmasters had a baffle that came loose.
That stuff will drive you nuts.

When I bought the car , the seller told me he had rebuilt the front suspension . . they look pretty good ... they are rubber . BTW there is a car show up your way about the middle of Sept. Another friend of ours is putting it on . I think we are going to try to make it . .... Thanks
