2002 S40 Front Suspension Groan

Post by jtz54 »

Every time I go over speed bumps the front suspension groans and squeaks. I understand there are no lube points under there. What is the most likely cause and the best way to fix it. Car has 93K miles on it.

Thanks

Probably worn out spring seats...get them checked and replaced if this is it. Since you don't have a swaybar on the front of your car it's not the swaybar endlink. Other than that, it could be your ball joints...but check the strut's spring seats first.
