Re: Suspension squeaking
When I took out the a-arm, the ball joint was sort of stiff to move and the rubber keeping the grease in was all torn up.
When you replaced the tie rod, did it fix the noise? How is a ball joint replaced?

Re: Suspension squeaking
Replacing the tie rod fixed all the noises when going over bumpy roads. NOT when turning the wheel. I havent done the ball joints yet, so I dont know how exactly to go at it.. You can take a look at the repair manual sticky in the performance section, its a decent guide.

Re: Suspension squeaking
changed the passenger side ball joint and the clunk stopped on bumps, however it continues when turning the wheel.
Could this be the inner tie rod?

Re: Suspension squeaking
My wife's PT is doing the same squeaking. I'll give the silicone spray a try. I'll keep you all posted on the end results

Re: Suspension squeaking
Went to the parts store, grabbed a can of Liquid Wrench Silicone lubricant. Squirted the stuff on the passenger's side control arm, ball joints and such. No more squeaking. The wife is very happy
