Worked for me. That squeaking was getting on my damn nerves. That silicone wd-40 was about $8 at Walmart. Well worth it. Thanks cool guy with sunglasses 😎
Yes! Get the silicone lubricant only when it comes to your shocks. Regular wd 40 or any different lubricant that's not silicone specific or specifically for your shocks (anything similar) will destroy anything rubber near your shocks!
I think it sould be mentioned that this is a good way to 'care' for your vehicle as basic 'maintenance,' but won't substitute for a bad bushing or worn joint or tie rod end - which can cause a loss of steering if they fail.
My 10 tundra is making a low squeaking noise when I go through big bumps. My first thought was maybe the low ball joints or arm control. But not too long ago the truck was serviced and inspected at the shop, everything is good. I’m gonna give this a try tomorrow thanks.
The stabilizer bar that runs all the way across the vehicle usually has bushings on them too that’s my issue. They are new and I didn’t grease them. Maybe check it out
Vehicles without grease fittings! I have a 98 town car that has had this come and go. Bushings are spent obviously, I've packed grease etc. Thanks for the video. I know it is inevitable to replace the idler arm with new upgraded part with fittings, but I didn't use this product. Difintitely going to give this a shot. Seems what I've been doing is making it worse. Nothing more annoying than having all other issues on vehicle resolved but you have a noisy front end. If one doesn't do this themself for five hundred dollars it will cost a grand to have a shop replace bushings.
Folks, this is not WD- 40 penetrating oil per say, this is Silicone spray made by WD- 40, it will Lubricate and Extend the life of All Rubber like CV Joint Covers.....
If you do a change out on upper control arms make sure you change the bolts. To adjust your camber. On E bay There is a company. Called McBay performance the bolts have zert fittings that also helps with camber and helps to lube bushings
Hi bro. Its really nice video bro. Thank you so much for that My Audi Q5 has squeaking noise from right upper, lower control arms i think. Does it WD Spray Lube works well with it?
Honest I was skeptical. I use the PB blaster silicone spray. I had a loud squeak driving even just getting in and out of my grand marquis was loud. Three months later still not squeaking… thank you
I had my rear rotors replaced last summer & this winter I hear squeaking periodically. Could this be due to sand/dirt ? They use sand instead of salt in my area as I live along a shoreline. Perhaps I need to hose any dirt away & spray. Thanks for sharing your video.
Just lubricate it, the cold is probably drying up the grease and causing it to squeak, if the noise comes back within a month then theres something actually wrong
Thanks a lot bro. Couldn’t find the one you recommended at the Walmart I was at so I got the liquid wrench silicone spray and it worked just as good!! 💯💯💯
7878 stew the noise would go away immediately and stayed away for a month. I replaced the part when my wife got really mad at me cause after a month it would come back. Still it really helped out to temporarily rid of the problem till I had the money and time to replace the part on my wife’s car.
7878 stew I really sprayed covered the inside of the joint between the crack and sprayed a lot into it was literally dripping and flowing after I was done. Your rubber might be too far gone as well and just need replaced too
Hey, gotta question for ya big dog. I just two inch spacers on the front of my truck to level it. Now it’s squeaking like you’re saying since adding them but it also sounds like it’s popping when I back up and turn the steering wheel either direction and only when backing. You have any knowledge on what it may be?
I have Spacers on my 2015 Toyota Tacoma. I’m having the same problem too when go off road the driving on the highway I hear like popping noises? Not sure if it’s the Spacers or control arms
Squeeking while going in reverse thats u-bolts. Told toyota they looked at me like i was crazy and tried to charge me $1800... got it done elsewhere for 600. Then Toyota had a recall... save your receipts. Got my money back lol.
When you lift or level the front end it Puts the entire front suspension under stress all your steering upper and lower control arms etc…….. keep everything lubed it should be fine! On the 7th day we must go off road
Not sure if your truck has torsion bar suspension on the front but that cracking/popping sound could be coming from where the front end of the torsion bar fits into the lower control arm "socket" . Some trucks seem to have noise issues from there due to the extreme torsional force put on that control arm "socket". Good luck.
😂😂🤣🤣🤣 I cant even handle this guy! Only spray every few weeks! Fixes the problem so you dont have to replace your bushings😳! This guy just saved my truck lmfao!
I just replaced the upper control arms and lower ball joints on my 06 Ford ranger and 4 months later I have a slight squeek when going over big speed bumps it makes no noise when I bounce the front end but while driving I hear it
My mechanic installed new control arms from Autozone on my Corolla that squeaked immediately and non-stop. I sprayed the bushings with some silicone spray, and the noise seemed to go away for a little while, but came right back after a few weeks.
I know this was 2 weeks ago but squeaking coming from new control arms are acceptable if you did not put grease in between the bushing and mounting points. Itll wear down and stop being noisy. Mounting them without grease is better in my opinion. It allows the bushings to do their job better. The grease will cause the bushing to slip instead of grab onto the metal like its supposed to.
I have 3” level with Motofab upper control arms that are new and trying to find where the squeak noise is coming from. I sprayed the wd40 silicone spray on the upper and lower control arm bushings and I still hear the noise. Possibly the upper control arm needs grease or the bushing went bad already less than a year
According to the website WD40 is safe on rubber. The only materials which are mentioned as being affected are polycarbonate and clear polystyrene. However since it is a petoleum based product I would agree wth Alex Rogers and avoid contact with natural rubber.
If you own a Dodge 1500 pickup like me, first check the tension in the spare tire cable. It can come lose and result in large squeaking noises as tire rubs on bottom of bed.
I just got a greese gun greese the ball joints and all the rubber joints and still squeaks and then I seen your video. I will try it and let ya know how it goes. It squeakes turn up and down and it's getting loader. So I'll go get this can of spray and try it. I'll let ya know how it goes. I'll try to do a video of my squeak before and after test and show ha what I'm talking about..till then thank for the information.
What do you recommend if this doesn't work. I've been spraying silicone on my truck after wd40 wasn't very affective. Changed the strut mount plate and the squeak is somewhat there after that but not as bad. Been going at this for like 3 months of squeaking maybe. Everytime it bounces or if I rock it side to side I can hear it creakin lol
@@Derec Ball joints looked fine, but maybe that'll be the first replacement. Creaking seems to come and go. Probably a whole strut assembly will do lol Thanks for the tip though
Car squeaks when in first gear going slow when I let off gas and lurches forward a bit... Any thoughts? Sometimes when going over bumps as well. Seems to be more of a sudden forward orstopping motion problem not up and down...
I did what ya said and it seem when you turn the steering wheel all the way to the right or to the left it still squeaks. I sprayed the spray on it and it still does the squeak. I'll bring it to the dealer where I bought it from and they'll take a look at it. I'm kinda passed. But at least I sprayed everything be for I ran out of the spray.
2021 lifted chevy 1500 started squeaking the other day. Tried this little trick and sprayed down the bushings of the control arms, And i b damn it worked. 👍
I just happen to have a can of that. And my front end squeaks pretty loud when I go over a speed bump or coming in or out of a drive way. I have 3 nasty speed bumps where I live that I have to drive over everyday. They aren’t the wide flat speed bumps they are raised and you have to almost come to a complete stop then drive slow. I have a 2018 it shouldn’t be making noise. I blame the speed bumps! I will try this tomorrow morning thx for the tips!
I have some squeaks when driving over bumpy road but not over speed bumps. I ordered this WD40 Sillicone Special and I hope it will fix it. It is not too bad and it almost fully dissapear when I drive for more than 10 minutes but Id prefer it without any squeaks at all 😅
@FernExtra FernExtra I can't tell you how much installation is but I will say I have rough country shocks on the rear of my truck, had the truck about a year but idk how long they been on because I got it from a dealer who got it from a guy but they do have a little rust, nothing serious but they get pounded on quite a bit going through my weekend backwoods trail, I have 35s and ride quality decent, can get bouncy on uneven roads for passengers but that's what happens when you lift a vehicle. Nothing rides true, so if your looking for shocks on RCX, I say get their newer equipment because mine is like their 2nd gen shocks, the N2's I hear are pretty good but overall Fox Shocks are the go to if you got your pockets right. Hope that helps
I have a 2010 kia forte at about 170,000 miles runs great still surprisingly and body wise too, but squeaks at every bump and dip in the road even when releasing the break would this be the same issue for me?

Most ball joints are unservicable today and only require a little elbow grease
This might take away the symtoms for awhile but I wouldn't recommend that for worn out pieces in the car.
Replace them and be on the safe side.

Thanks
Ismael Ortiz yes. I sprayed it on everything under there that look like it could squeak. Last long too
Thank you for the information!!!!
Saved me a lot of stress and time and frustration THANK YOU

You are welcome, make sure to shop local farm produce
Be care full because if the tour breaks are squeaking you just need to replace them but driving without replacing them will end up costing you more
Of course corrosion and rust can be destructive beyond belief
one question? Does WD 40 dry out or wear rubber over time? Thanks, I love the stuff btw.

polycarbonate and clear polystyrene. However since it is a petoleum

Yes, petroleum products will erode rubber. Use silicone.
My bro,the hack is awesome
My front right on my dakota squeaks a bunch, is their anywhere else you would recommend spraying for that?
the lower control arms as well or get all new bushings
just replace the suspension.
If you own a Dodge 1500 pickup like me, first check the tension in the spare tire cable. It can come lose and result in large squeaking noises as tire rubs on bottom of bed.
Plus the spare tires hold grime salt rust sludge

Nice tip ,, thank you.. Oh nice truck too!!
you could also use at-205 pour the liquid in a bottle according to scotty kilmer
Did that, noise came back 2 days after
The method I explained is more efficient
So I just put straight silicone spray and it only last couple days. WD is probably the way to go
The best thing you can buy is heavy duty axle grease that stuff is cheap and it’s the same stuff that come from the factory for some joints
and some resists water and fast movement
