2008 SKY Red Line
Wrench Suspension squeeks?

2008 Redline SKY. Purchased new. Just under 30k miles (I commute by public transport these days). Anyone else experience suspension squeeks and creaks with sudden bumps in the road - even small ones? The designated Saturn service shop looked at it and couldn't find anything, but lubed some roll bar bushings. It got better but is still intemittently there. Seems like it may depend on the weather some - but I don't drive it much these days.

...

An easy culprit - no lubrication. I'd start with a shot of WD40 in the joints and see what happens...

Front and rear sway bar bushing make noise on these cars. I use dielectric grease on sway bar bushings. Remove the bushings and lube the inside of the bushings(hole).

The door strikers made noise also. To test the striker open the door and use a screw driver and slight pry on it. If it squeaks replace it. Before you replace the striker, trace around the striker with a felt tip pen. So you can put it back in the same place.

Good luck!
