My squeaky Porsche

[adamnitti]

Noticed today during a rally over some moderately bumpy roads that as I was decelerating to a stop, I was hearing "squeaking" from the left front. Only happened when the car was on the bumpier roads under 15mph. Is there something I need to replace or lube? Thanks-

Happends to me as well...it's usually rubber covers protecting interior-lights switch that is rubbing the door.

Adam,

As I'm sure it's been said many many times before. Just turn up your latest release a little bit louder!

How are your a-arm suspension bushings? It is common for them to squeek if they are worn or have been replaced by polygraphite bushings. Do you get the same squeeking if you push down on the fender when the car is parked?

That's what I've heard too. Worn front suspension bushings will squeak when they finally 'fail.'

no, i don't notice any squeaking when i push down on the fender. does this mean it isn't the bushings?

what kind of lube should i use? just an all-purpose moly lube or similar?

thanks again-
