| Post subject: | Front suspension squeek? |
Today I noticed if I push down on the front of my 71 dart the front suspension will make a squeek/ creek. Almost like a creeky door or floor. Is this normal? The shocks have about 20000 miles on them with quite a bit of bumpy dirt road miles. Ball joints have about 13000 miles on them and upper control bushings have about 10000. Lower ball joints have not been done. And I have air shocks in the back and after driving the pressures are off on each side and the car sits lower on the left. Is there a easy fix for that? |

When was the last grease job? Driving on dirt roads require more frequent chassis lube, and air filter changes. Spring time dirt roads with a lot of wet material splashing up onto all the front suspension joints is particularly troublesome as that muck can find its way into every joint. |

What shape are the lower control arm bushings? Squeaks are usually caused by (dry) metal to metal contact. It could be that things need a grease gun- should be done 1-2 times a year, but everything should be checked for wear & looseness. |

It's been a while since any grease. I'll go through and do it all next week. |

Stock rubber bushings or polygraphite? |
