squeeeeeky suspension!! (1 Viewer)

[slowLC]

So our cruiser has developed a serious squeek coming from the suspension. It progressively gets worse as we drive it for long periods of time. Is it time for a new suspension setup? what ways can you test for your shocks being blown? Thanks for any help.

Could be any number of things (bushings, springs, metal/metal contact, shocks)...

Can you isolate the squeak while the vehicle is stationary, maybe have a friend try to work the suspension?

Some quick links:

Try a search, there are others out there.

Try tightening the 4 bolts that hold the radius arms onto the front axle. Also look at the bushings as mentioned previously, mine were worn to the point that the links were touching the mounts in a couple spots..
