    On our receintly purchassed 85 308 I hear a squeek in the front suspension, from the time you sit in it (no jokes about my weight, I am working on it!) and I also hear it when going in and out of driveways.

    Is the squeek the rubber bushings that need Silicon spray, or something requiring me to get greasy again?

    Could be the bushings or other bits.

    (Humor) It could also be A/C system. You DO know the A/C is basically a mouse blowing on an ice cube. So during this time of year the mouse gets a bit tired and squeaks. Be kind to the mouse, he works very hard in the summer months.

    Check the ball joints

    Pretty simple to replace.

    Yuk it up Steve!! hahaha. Now I don't care who you are, that was funny. Anyway Doug, it is probably the swaybar bushings I had that problem too. I would start there that's fairly easy to try at least. Sometimes old suspension bushings can do that too. Regards, Vern

    I figure a fresh can of silicone spray will help me locate, or eliminate things. Can the ball joints be greased like an american car? And what is Ferrari doing with that ball joints.....do they last as long as they do in american cars?

    Doug

    I will check the mice cage too, they probably some need fresh ice by now.
