How do you grease up the ball joins on the suspension? mine squeaks loudly when i go over bad areas. Im not sure if thats the prob but any suggestions?

 

wrong section bro'...

 

at least he got it in the z32 section..

 

Moved to 300ZX (Z32) Brakes, Wheels, Suspension and Chassis.

 

Surprisingly, the z32 is famous for having a hood squeak. Seriously. If you haven't, you might try lubricating the hood latch and then adjust it down a little to hold the hood tight.

The ball joints and rod ends are lifetime sealed. There is no lubricating them. On my car, when it's colder than normal, I have a squeak in my left front shock, upper spring seat. It goes away after a couple of minutes of driving and I haven't done anything about it.

 

Um thanks for the guy with the tip but for everyone else am i not in the suspenison section unless our computers post labels differently.

 

This should be a hint.

 

you ARE in the suspension section, because i moved the thread here.

 

yeah it possible... very possible its the hood, you can try adjusting the ruber bump stops on it as well, maybe put a little grease on them.

 

"Dee-Dee-Deee!" lol

 

Oh damn, sorry I feel like a clown. Didnt realize is all. Thanks thou. If it doesnt turn out to be my hood do you think i might need new bushings?

 

they are like $2

 

Well I dont just wanna buy something and it not be the prob but yea i think ill do those weather or not.

 

My friend was having the same prob. I sprayed up all the joints on my front end with diseal fuel and it killed the squeaks. WOOOPIIEEEEEE

 

Fuel + rubber & grease... hum... I like where this is going.

 

Well it looked to me like those joints were lacking in grease if thats whats even suppose to be ther but it was a quick fix. I thought my front end was gonna fall out for all the noise it was makin. and I did check to see if anything was lose.

 

so you replaced grease with fuel. next youll replace the bushings and rods

 

....but hey, the squeak went away so all must be ok now....

 

Did you adjust the hood latch? my squeak went away...

 

Na my hood wasnt makin any noise but I do need to adjust it because my hood rest close to an 1/8" to high. Is it easy?

 

Um....yes....find the latch....add lubricant. It's easy unless you're a retard.

 

If the lastch is loose then lub wont do anything. And I dont hav a latch noise problem.
