Thanks: 1 times
My suspension in the front squeeks all the time

I thought I had it sorted but, umm nope.

Also Ive been hearing a noise and turns out the air cleaner is hitting the bonnet under neath.

The engine looks like a 4.1 as its got 2 pulleys on it and my cars not a power steer car.
If the engine is out of a xy would it be taller in the carb or something??

Advice appreciated
Cheers.
If its not broke it will be soon

Your engine is probably leaning to the drivers side a bit which is making the air cleaner higher.

Loosen your engine mount bolts and carefully jack the drivers side of the engine up enough to shift the engine on it's mounts. A lever might help with t

Prnds what u mean by all the time, if u mean while its running then i guess start looking for run marks in the engine bay, if u mean while driving , then look at ur spring saddles.

one of the main reasons for squeaking is the rubber from the top of your coil spring is gone. I can sell you a pair. Your bushes shouldn't squeak all that much.
