squeaking noise up front with eibach pro-kit springs - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Ex-stang · 07-27-2010, 08:58 PM

Got a pain in the ass squeak coming front the front end whenever i go over a small hump in the road....low speed , high speed , does it all the time...Could it be the bushings with the lowered height have worked around and need to be replaced?
Have no clue what it could be .I googled squeaking after eibach pro-kit and it seems to be a pretty common issue?
Any clues anyone.
Thanks in advance for the responses.

ISSUE LOCATED
Dont know what they are called but they connect vertically to the front sway bar ends ...one was hanging loose ! bolt up top completely sheared off and was connected to the sway bar only...
what are those called?

Hi Ex-stang,

Do you know if you have the new GM upper spring isolators installed? This has been rumored to alleviate some front end noise, although I can not confirm. Are you aware of this? Thread below:

I have the original isolators...the ones on the right in your pic....as you can see in my OP update the sway bar endlink on one side has completely tore off on the top....this may be whats causing the issue...

The vertical rods attached to the ends of the sway bars are the sway bar links. A pivot on each end. They are common to break on Cobalts, Uplanders as well as all of the Enclave/Acadia/Traverses and Impala's. I've yet to hear anything about the Camaro's though.

Your endlink would probably not be the squeak, thought it does require attention. Two quick questions.

1. Who did the installation? Was it a shop or did you do it?
2. Did you install sway bars when you did the springs?

Ex-stang · 07-28-2010, 09:08 PM

i had a shop do the install, they broke off the swaybar end link while installing the springs and they welded it back on without even telling me....!!!! check out my post about it.....bunch of retards are putting a new swaybar end link this week and arent ever seeing the car back again ever !

Doh

Back to the squeak, springs only and no sway bars, right?

Ex-stang · 07-28-2010, 09:28 PM

Back to your queak. Did the squeak go away when the endlink failed or do you still have it?
