Squeeky suspension?

Toller 9 May 2005 01:17:43
 Last fall my 2000 Golf was squeeking on turns. It stopped before I got
around to doing anything about it. Now it is back, probably worse. Could
it have something to do with temperature?

When I last had it in for service the mechanic said they usually replace
shocks at 50k, and since I had 65k, I was way past due.

Does that make sense? Is the squeek due to worn out shocks? The car
handles normally enough.

 Shocks at 50k?? How bad are the roads where you live? I'm in Southern
Ontario and they get pretty beaten up from the extremes of hot and cold we
get (+40 to - 40 Celsius takes its toll on anything and everything here)
plus the amount of trucking that takes place everywhere (Industrial centre
of Canada) - I replaced my shocks at 100K Kms just because I wanted
something stiffer, the original shocks were still in good shape - I don't
take it easy on my car either, 80-90kph on rough back roads, 60-80kph on
dirt roads through all sorts of ruts and depressions, I carry quite a bit of
weight from time to time too... I've only replaced one set of worn out tie
rods, and my car tracks straight :-)­.

Squeak could be a part of the car rubbing against another part (dash
plastics, leather on leather, something in the trunk) - I get a loud bang
from my back right over certain bumps, that I have yet to figure out why it
does it.

Maybe you need new bushings or something.... Get someone to drive alongside
you, if your wheels bounce a few times over one bump, or the car keeps
bobbing over depressions, then your shocks are shot - if the car levels out
in one down-up motion then it's fine. I find it's fairly obvious to point
out cars on the road with worn suspensions - easiest at night if you're on
your own... how high do your lights point up when you go over bumps... and
how quickly do they return to their normal spot on the road.

 Around my part of the USA shock last over 100,000 miles before needing
replacment. Common squeak is the front sway bar bushings.

 a lower control arm bush or anti-roll bar buch would be my guess, but it
could just as easily be something silly like the door rubber or the seat!

Do these require immediate attention, or are they just annoying?

The car handles exactly as it always has, so I had doubts about the shock
theory/

if they are just squeaking, then i think you can just turn the stereo up.

if they have started splitting, falling apart etc, then best replaced.
should be checked at a service (any decent m,echanic will check this kinda
stuff) and is definaely part of the mot
