At Doms Garage Services, we understand that a squeaking suspension can be both annoying and indicative of an underlying issue. There are several reasons why your suspension might be making noise, and identifying the exact cause is essential to ensure a smooth and safe driving experience. Here are some common causes of a squeaking suspension:

• Worn Out Suspension Components: Over time, components such as bushings, ball joints, and control arms can wear out or become damaged, leading to squeaking sounds.
• Lack of Lubrication: The suspension system is made up of various moving parts that require regular lubrication. Without proper lubrication, these components can start to squeak.
• Dirty or Damaged Shock Absorbers: Dirt and debris can enter the shock absorbers, causing them to produce squeaking noises. Additionally, shock absorbers can become damaged over time, which may also result in squeaks.
• Loose or Worn Out Parts: Loose or deteriorated bolts, nuts, and other parts can cause the suspension to squeak, as they no longer hold components securely in place.
• Environmental Factors: Extreme temperatures and weather conditions—such as high humidity—can cause the suspension components to expand or contract, potentially resulting in squeaking sounds.

If you’re experiencing suspension squeaks, it’s important to have your vehicle inspected by a professional mechanic. At Doms Garage Services, our experienced technicians can diagnose the exact cause of the noise and recommend the appropriate repairs or replacements.
