Hi all-- just purchased a 94 sc400 with 68k miles and it's great except for a squeaking/clunking sound from the front suspension when the car is cold (after sitting outside overnite) and only going over big bumps like speed bumps or sharp dips in the road. It seems that later in the day or drive it disappears completely. I've had the suspension checked and it's tight. The mechanic tried siliconing the parts also as a fall back-- helped a very little bit. I also get a slight clunk from the rear at times but not constantly. Suggestions?

could be your front upper or lower control arm bushing and/or rear arms bushing!

Thanks.... I check those out next. I've heard that the bushings used are "hard" hence the noise when cold and then when warmed up through driving they "soften" a bit and the noise goes away. Maybe, despite the low mileage, they are just old.
