MikeZ 10-03-2007, 12:40 AM wrong section bro'... hoov100 10-03-2007, 03:33 AM at least he got it in the z32 section.. entropy31 10-03-2007, 08:45 AM Moved to 300ZX (Z32) Brakes, Wheels, Suspension and Chassis. CanyonCarver 10-04-2007, 03:43 AM Surprisingly, the z32 is famous for having a hood squeak. Seriously. :) If you haven't, you might try lubricating the hood latch and then adjust it down a little to hold the hood tight. The ball joints and rod ends are lifetime sealed. There is no lubricating them. On my car, when it's colder than normal, I have a squeak in my left front shock, upper spring seat. It goes away after a couple of minutes of driving and I haven't done anything about it. cake872 10-04-2007, 08:41 PM Um thanks for the guy with the tip but for everyone else am i not in the suspenison section unless our computers post labels differently.

MikeZ 10-04-2007, 10:13 PM you ARE in the suspension section, because i moved the thread here. "Dee-Dee-Deee!":038: lol cake872 10-05-2007, 09:29 PM Oh damn, sorry I feel like a clown. Didnt realize is all. Thanks thou. If it doesnt turn out to be my hood do you think i might need new bushings? MikeZ 10-06-2007, 11:47 AM they are like $2 cake872 10-07-2007, 09:55 PM Well I dont just wanna buy something and it not be the prob but yea i think ill do those weather or not. cake872 10-31-2007, 10:52 PM My friend was having the same prob. I sprayed up all the joints on my front end with diseal fuel and it killed the squeaks. WOOOPIIEEEEEE NismoPick 11-01-2007, 08:46 AM Fuel + rubber & grease... hum... I like where this is going. :D cake872 11-01-2007, 01:23 PM Well it looked to me like those joints were lacking in grease if thats whats even suppose to be ther but it was a quick fix. I thought my front end was gonna fall out for all the noise it was makin. and I did check to see if anything was lose. b300z 11-01-2007, 03:27 PM so you replaced grease with fuel. next youll replace the bushings and rods 91zxtt 11-01-2007, 08:53 PM ....but hey, the squeak went away so all must be ok now....:075: MikeZ 11-02-2007, 03:25 AM Did you adjust the hood latch? my squeak went away... cake872 11-03-2007, 06:28 AM Na my hood wasnt makin any noise but I do need to adjust it because my hood rest close to an 1/8" to high. Is it easy? 91zxtt 11-03-2007, 06:18 PM Um....yes....find the latch....add lubricant. It's easy unless you're a retard. cake872 11-04-2007, 08:48 AM If the lastch is loose then lub wont do anything. And I dont hav a latch noise problem. |
