weird noise..

[lxondubz]

im still learning alot about these cars but ive noticed when i go over speed bumbs or if i hit a bump in the road, a squeaking noise comes from the front passenger side. it sounds like the spring is rubbing against something when it loads and unloads. would it be the bushings, i have no idea here.

oh and im sure this is a newb question, but where can you buy the yellow fogs, you can falme on me..idc i just want them asap

do some searches for how to fix clunk, our front and rear sway bar bushings like to wear out quick. i fixed my rears about 12k miles ago and they starting again along with my fronts now starting to crunch.

and as for the yellow fogs i give u clicky:

they arent actual yellow fog lights that you see normally, just a film like the 3m stuff you put on your hood but colored yellow, and dont worry about these being for p5's cuz they have the exact same foglight as msp's

Front squeak is probably the urethane suspension bushings - they can be tough to lube, but you can likely get at them by turning the steering wheel all the way and looking in through the wheelwell - where the red swaybar runs through the bushing is where they are. Have to be unbolted to properly lube, and the lube doesn't last long. I'm thinking of zerking mine somehow. God news is that the sqwronk noise goes away on mine when the temp is above about 50F.

Rear bushing clunk has a lot of threads, there are several solutions both short term (replace) and long term (get bushing relocation kit). Do a search on that.

Note also that the sub/amp enclosure can loosen up some and clunk like mad, search on that (I have to tighten mine up).

Fun car though - every time I get the urge to test drive something else (MiniS, WRX, R32) I get back in mine and remember just how good it feels to drive. Ultimate numbers may not completely compare, but the "feel" is incomparable. My personal go-kart.
