Strut Tower Groaning/Squealing

[qiksho]

Well the SHO started making an aweful noise like the powersteering pump was dying when turning. I finally got a budy to turn it while I got under and listened. Come to find out the strut is moving a small amount and making noise in the upper strut mount area. I have no suspension experience and am wondering how to quite it down.

Is there some sort of bushing I need to replace? Or what exactly is my problem? The struts and springs are original with 100k on them. shrug

qiksho, what are the temps like by you? i know its common for the bushings to groan under 60 degrees (mine do it all the time and it goes away when its warm out). maybe yours just started doing it too. im sure the others can lend more ideas than mine though. good luck.

This fixed my problem immediately. Again mine really produced the noise at low temps.

Mine started this spring...I took it out of storage over spring break...so its been above 40 degrees the whole time...its been above 70 and makes the noise just as bad. shrug
