Hi (again:))! As I was spending time studying the source of some audible squeaks in my 900([1] in the back of the car), I happened to notice that also the (left) front suspension squeaks. The front squeak is most audible when I push the front of the car down a bit, with my hands. It squeaks when I push it down slowly and when I push it down quickly. I haven't heard it coming from the front wheel while driving, for some reason. The right side doesn't squeak, nor does the rear of the car when I similarly push down the rear suspension. Would this suggest worn bushings in springs/shock absorbers? I'm going to switch to summer tires next weekend so I thought I would ask any ideas about it in this group before I get the chance to make more detailed inspections. I just hate squeaks, luckily Saab isn't too bad in this aspect. But I still hate them :) thanks in advance, Simo [1] The backside of the car/passenger compartment squeaks when I drive over a small bumps: it seems to come from the back seat somewhere but I haven't found anything yet. May be back suspension, too? Or something else.. Last time I killed a squeak by re-attaching some metal bars on the side of the driver's seat...) -- 0110011001101111011011110110001001100001011100100010110101110000
