Hey guys My evo 8 front passenger side spring is squeaking. It just started this morning. It squeaks when driving down the road. Once I arrived at work. I got out and pushed down on the culprit and low and behold it squeaks. Im hoping a good wash down of the spring will cure this.

I didn't run over any big pot holes with the car.

Im expecting the worst. I am rocking basic swift springs with billsteins. Maybe i'll be need a rebuild kit for the strut hat???

LMK what you guys think.

 

bump for some feedback

 

Check to make sure the perches and spring are all aligned right. I have never heard of this. So when you push down it makes a noise? Could be dust/dirt built up and trapped between the perch and spring. Are you in a winter area with a lot of salt/sand?

 

Yes sir I live in wheaton (suburb of chicago) It makes a squeaking sound when I push down on the front passenger side strut. When Im driving down the street it squeaks. The strut is okay, im guessing and hoping its just dirt and salt in there.

Maybe im being a bit paranoid. I'll head down to the local car wash hole and spray them off and see if the noise continues.

ill keep you guys posted.

The only thing I can think of besides roadcrap/salt is maybe the little bushings that slide into the top and all the way down to the bump stop.
