Legasee Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 Well..I just moved into this apartment and the driveway has a HUGE incline/bump (I ALWAYS scrape the front lip when I leave the driveway), but I have no scraping when I drive into the driveway. I always hear squeaky noise from the suspension going either way at an agressive angle (you know, like 45 degree turn, then turn back after clearing). Should I be worried about the chassis flexing so much everytime, should I get some strut/sway bars ?? Thanks In Taiwan now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenonk Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 heh, wait when you get stiffer sways... i always lift the wheels then... but chassis flex is more pronounced when you jack up the car on one corner.. a good STIFF chassis could pick up 3 wheels at one jack point Keefe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With a few weeks of having to drive on that driveway, I do hear more squeaks when I'm going on/off curbs, speedbumps, other driveways, etc....should I be concerned?...will strut/sway bars decrease the squeaking, and what kind of affect will the bars have on the car when relating to the driveway? thanks!

Actually, the whole car goes up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanger Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 i do experience the same squeaking when i am leaving or entering a driveway at an angle... but i have yet to figure out what's causing that ○ ○ ○ Instagram: itshangertime :spin: ○ ○ ○ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As your tires hit the ground, you'll get that little bit of "boost" and a possible squeak from the tires. You might be hearing some other squeak if it's over speed bumps.. are you sure it's not tire squealing from it spinning? Keefe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
