What bolts to tighten up?
After working in Houston for 5 months and driving through it's terrible roads my suspension has started to creek. I have 1in bmr drop springs and they were installed 2 years ago. I did not use locate, but I did use a torque wrench. Anyways, could anyone tell me which bolts i can loctite? If i loosen some bolts and loctite them will i have to get a new alignment? Are there bolts i should not loctite because they are the bolts needed to align the car?
Thanks!

I would think if you have suspension bolts coming loose, you would have more serious problems than just "creaking". You might try just giving your suspension joints a good shot with a grease gun wherever possible.

Stock rubber bushings rarely squeak. How many miles on your beast?

You may have a bad strut. 1. Is there an oily residue on either of your rear struts? 2. Can you reproduce the noise by jouncing your car? |
