What is making this sound? I have a lowered '01 gs430 and the noise seems to be coming from the front passenger side suspension. It is a loud creaking sound. Its worst when slowly going up or down steep driveways. It can also be heard when driving on uneven surfaces and when taking turns. Im sure it is a lubrication issue but where? I just went to advance and bought some white lithium grease but i need to know where to apply it. Thanks yall!

I would unbolt the sway bar assembly and lubricate the bushings its pretty easy and it fixed the squeak I had in mine.

Thanks, that sounds right on the money!

Also make sure you retorque the 4 bolts that secure the 2 brackets to spec. Others from this site had sqeaking coming from their sway bar bushings and without adding grease, they retorqued the bolts and the squeak went away.

Good Luck!

My car has a clunk when i go over a bump on the driveway going in a angle. What could that be? My car is a 99 gs3.

How many pounds is that?

Also check your spring insulators and if they are all cracked and pushed out from under the springs they can cause that squeak. That is if you are using lowering springs and not coilovers...

What are the factory torque specs for the gs430 's suspension?
