annoying squeak diagnosis help
When I drive my 95 cab, with H&R springs and Bilsteins and Turbo front and rear sways, I am now hearing, several months after install and alignment, a squeak emanating from, I think, the rear right.
It is louder when the car is cold and mostly occurs when the steering is pointed to the left. As the car goes faster, the squeaks increase in speed as well, although they are not related to the speed of the engine. Could it be just a lubrication of the sways or springs or????
Thanks in advance for the advice.

they are rubber and they were lubricated. I drove over a little bump right after I started the car and the sound came from the rear right. It almost sounds metallic, like a ticking sound, but not engine related.

It may sound crazy, but I had the very same symptoms shortly after my Bilstein install. The blue plastic dust guard had come loose from the shock body (it just snaps on). The plastic guard was free to ride up and down on the strut ram. Made an awful squeak.

I don't have any useful suggestions, but I will volunteer to drive your cab until I leave Orlando in July so you do not need to "suffer" with any noises.

Thanks Russ. I might just take you up on it. This thing is driving me crazy. A bit like the playing cards we used to put on spokes. The noise goes faster as the wheel spins, so I am certain "something" is touching the wheel or a part of it. I do not have a lift, and my neck is not long enough to fit under there

Touch the rims after a long ride and check the heat. It should be the parking brake. The 993 has a combined drum/disc brake at the rear axle. One of the drum brake spring could be broken and the brake lining is squeaking...
