Suspension noise diagnosis

[anandoc]

excellent - love the easy ones.

now, about the squeak... driver's seat, rear left corner?

Peter man, help me diagnose a seat squeak as well. It has been driving me crazy for the last few weeks

Seems to be coming from the passenger side....I am guessing its the seat...I have banged around with my fist but cannot reproduce it while the car is stationary. Only happens when I am driving over bumpy roads (which we have plenty here in TO).

weird! try flipping the seat up into 'flip forward' mode and see what happens?

my driver's seat in the X3 is squeaking/creaking a bit in the back left corner. if i push on it with my fingers, i can reproduce the sound. just need to take it apart now to figure it out....

I’d expect nothing less lol.

My driver seat is noisy, but it’s from my leather belt rubbing the leather seat.

ha, yes... well, i am going to be retrofitting lumbar into the X3 seats anyway, so i'll just wait for that.

the leather-on-leather rubbing would drive me nuts! good thing i don't wear leather pants...

I guess your 80s hair band days are behind you, huh?

That’s cool about the lumbar in the X3. I drove my old X3 to Harbor Freight yesterday (got a steal of a deal on a new jack), and I’d forgotten how quiet and smooth it is.

yeah... i started playing guitar in '93, so i was past that anyway - went straight for the grunge/death metal look.

was yours a 2007 also? the LCI updates are great. there is some slop that needs to be eradicated in the trans- and diff-mount areas. and some of the interior plastics are kinda cheap, and noisy - but overall i'm pretty pleased with it. lumbar and FSDs will improve it even more.

The seat squeak noise can be produced by pushing myself back into the seat. I hear it going over bumps usually. It sounds like it's coming from inside the seat - I don't think it's rubbing on anything externally.

r.e. seatbelt noise: I was getting some rubbing from the seat belt a few inches up from where it mounts, so basically by my left hip. The belt was rubbing against the plastic base of the seat so I put some clear tape on the plastic which has helped a lot. The belt makes noise when it rubs on plastic, but not smooth packing tape.

Finally found the kit I was looking for.
