Default Squeaky Suspension Question.....

i have an 06.......and since last week when i go over speed bumps or any type of bump for that matter........including turns.......there are small creeky noises and sounds as if bushings are dried out. On the is250's i know that some bushings are replacable and some are not. Has anyone else had these noises before and if so, how did you fix it...................on a budget.

Is it coming for the front or back? What kind of suspension do you have?

Been noticing this too. I'm going to try greasing the shock mount bushings. If it still squeaks I'm going to place an order from FIGS for some bushings.

i have stock suspension. Its coming from the front of the car. At first it was just light, but now its become increasingly louder...........and annoying. The tech at Lexus over the phone, without seeing the car, believes it is the say bar bushings........taking it in today

Just an update for you guys. Got the car back and its fixed. It was a shock mount bolt on the drivers side that was loose. So before you invest in bushings and all that. Just take it in have them do an overview of you suspension and all the bolts and mounts, mot likely you have a loose one in there that needs tightening. Hope this helps.

I'm experiencing similar issues. Paid 100 for the assessment at the dealership only for then to tell everything is fine. The noise comes and goes.....
