Hey all, My 86 GL has squeaked since I bought it 30k ago. My Mechanic believes the bushings are the culprit but said they're dry. So I crawled under, shook the van, listened and found the uper control arm bushings to be the loudest. I took the arm off (pretty easy) and greased everything...still squeaks. I remember a thread about this before but couldn't find it in the archives. Anyone else squeaking? Anyone fix it? Do I have to replace bushings? etc. TIA Hotch 86 GL 89 Jetta GL Philly |
