So my car has been taken a beating down here on these seattle streets, and my problem is i hear rattling and squeaks of all sorts coming from my suspension. My question to you guys is, do any of you have a car lift i could use for a day or so, so i can tighten up everything underneath (suspension parts, bolts, etc...) and figure out what my problems are with the car????
My car still handles like normal, its just whenever i hit a bump or dip in the road, i hear loud rattling, and it is driving me nuts.
If anyone could help me out that would be awsome! I dont want to take it to a shop and spend a ton of money for them to simply tighten things up or do things i can do on my own. Thanks for any help!:bowdown:

If you hear rattling over bumps the common items are Cat Shields/Exhaust items, Brake Caliper clips, or with your car I would hazard to guess any of the 47 cross braces on the rig... :)

Another thing to consider with your car is that you need to be greasing those bushings of yours on a regular basis. If they dry out, you'll start to hear some noises not to mention that they will tear.

What about just grabbing 4 of those large SUV jack stands and getting the car 24" in the air..........?

See, im young and pretty uneducated on thethings i need to know & do bout my car, for example i didnt know i needed to be greasing anything up...crap.

I know for a fact that the brake clips are on wrong and are rattling. I hear most of the rattling noises coming from the front. And a little noise or two from the rear.

Will- All have is one floor jack, do you have any others i could borrow if i cant get an actual lift???? Anyone want to help me out if we get a nice sunny day in the next week or two? Anthony? Joe? anyone? :poke:
Thanks for the help will, you have already gave me something i need to look for and when going ove my car! Any other help/advice is greatly appreciated!!:-D

Anytime you want to swing up this way, I have 4 large jack stands and we can crawl under there and take a peek.

Thanks will, sounds great. By the way, i noticed a few months ago that my brake lines were rubbing my rear tires. How do i go about fixing that? I ducked taped them out of the way as a temporary fix so they wouldnt ruin the tires...but need to be reassembled or something...
I'll pm you when i see some decent weather in the forecast, and we'll figure something out. Thanks a lot, I really really appreciate it! -trey.

The brake lines rubbing is not a good thing, remember what happened and it wasnt the tires that got the bad end. You probably need to get the brake lines rebent

Ya, they werent rubbing very long before i noticed the problem. i will most derfinatley make sure they are in working condition though... i check them bout every other time i drive, and they are still taped out of the way...
