- In this video, I show you how to fix squeaky car shocks. I go over a simple fix that you can use to repair your vehicle's suspension if it is making a squeaking noise. We all know that driving a car with squeaky shocks can be kind of annoying, but this simple fix will barely cost you any money and only take a minute or two to actually do. It serves as a temporary solution and you'll probably have to do it again every few months, but it is so easy to do that it makes it completely worth it!

Wd40 worked on my door hinges. Thanks for the bandaid fix. I was looking for somebody that had good advice though.
vid starts at 1:56
WD-40 was designed for Water Dispersal and has petroleum distillates which can deteriorate rubber. I use a product called Stabil rust stopper it is water based rust stopper and lubricates parts does not harm rubber or plastic
does silicone spray also work?
WD stands for water displacement
I think white lithium spray is one a lot of people use too for this.
Nice video
Use silicon wd 40. Reg wd40 will eat the rubber
Another example of ‘just because you can, doesn’t mean you should’. Experts are experts for a reason. Now where’s my DIY surgeon…..
How long did it last?
You should never spray wd-40 on anything in your suspension. It will destroy all your rubber parts. Terrible advice.
What about brake cleaner
Use silicone instead
@@Fatbodypyle will it help? Tell me so I can try
Not only that but it’s not a lubricant, it’s a solvent. It may work temporarily but it won’t hold up in a car environment. Use some silicone spray.
@@Hondafn DONT EVER DO THAT. That will dry out the rubber or remove grease which is needed fir lubrication.
Wouldn't wd40 make it worse eventually due to more friction
Could’ve compressed this video to thirty seconds very easily
Yep, why use 10 words when 1000 will do
@@col8981 haha Kevin Malone style
Could've compressed "hey everybody" to 1 sec
Shouldn't use wd40 as its not a lubricant but penetrative spray. Better to use silicone lube spray
It might not be as good of a lubricant as silicone spray but it does have lubricating properties.
WD-40 has a Specialist silicone lube
@@jeffwang6460 I know I own both
WD stands for “Water Deterrent” it’ll rust out your metal. Silicone for sure
@@MrJunyaCassinova What you said makes absolutely no sense.
What about copper grease?
does not work on a shock in the rear I used wd40 and noise still there I remove shock and drove and noise went away so the shock is bad.
I recommend lithium Grease instead of wd 40 to prevent the eating of your bushings and rust
Congrats on what I can only assume is your first thing you've ever "fixed" on a car yourself
Love how clear you are with your instructions and how genuine you sound. “Make sure you’re doing everything safely”. Good on ya man.
That being said, NEVER EVER EVER EVER use WD-40 unless it’s WD-40 Silicone spray. Do not use regular WD-40 unless you’re trying to add to your issues.
Can you elaborate? what will happen, scientifically?
Use olive oil cooking spray it works very good in cases like this, But Wd-40 will work for a short time because when it drys it wears out
Wow, Mr.C I've been having this problem! Thank you!
Bro, you saved life.
Very informative hand and can waving video. I now know how to wave my hand and a can.
😆 it was definitely an amazing hand waving tutorial... That's about all it was good for 🤦🏼
Can be dangerous too if you over spray onto the disc and caliper which will result in total brake failure.Best is fix the faulty squeeky part insted of quick fixes.
Yeah that worked for about 5 mins. Gonna use lithium or silicone instead tomorrow.
Edit: now that I think about it, this never made sense in the first place. No more drinking and youtube lol
LOL this is some hack shit. His next video is going to be how to stop low brake pad squeal by covering the rotors with anal lube.
Hopefully it will work and won't destroy any rubber sealant material of damper over the time...
temporary solution till you can afford to fix
White lithium grease
@@user-cg9zq4bt5q deteriorates rubber
Wd-40? No. It will brake all the rubber parts. Use silicone spray. Also its not a lubricant its a solvent .
What spray do you recommend?
@@Ghost-jy9hk read above
@@Ghost-jy9hk silicone spray, I use PB blaster brand silicone spray on any and everything rubber and have never had a problem
He meant to use WD40 Specialist Silicone lubricant which is safe for rubber.
My springs on my Corolla squeak. I’m gonna see if this works
Did it?
It worked okay for a couple of months. Then it’s started to squeak again. So it works but you’ll just have to re apply after a while
@@xavierlopez7096 Thats because WD-40 is a temporary solution. It may eventually cause long term problems so try buying a lithium grease spray and apply that in stead. It should last much longer than a few months and wont cause any issues with rubber seals etc
Thank you I’ll do this today
My rear left tire is where I hear it when I’m driving slow and over a bump but lately it’s getting worse..if I press my trunk up and down I can hear it.. I guess I gotta do this till someone can help me replace shocks
Sprayed all the suspension components on my 05' Mitsubishi Lancer with WD-40 until i get them changed and all the squeaks and knocking went away, thanks😎
That's what I plan on doing too thank you
hello
Why doesn't the car mechanic not advise you to spray lubricants for a squeaky suspension?
Would it be fine to do until you fix the problem?
Probably redundant, but if anyone is reading the comments, use LITHIUM LUBRICANT instead.
WD-40 is a degreaser and can cause unnecessary wear to your components due to friction in the long run.
Sure it might work for now, but the squeaking will be back.
Correct. This video is fine except for the medium used. White lithium all the way.
yea lithium/silicon grease is best for rubber
what about I need an emergency solution?
can I use any kind of lubricant like old mobil(engine oil) to lubricate my suspensions for a small while?
@@qalbi-s_Ahnfy2095 I have never been in an emergency where lubricating my suspension is the fix. Also no, you shouldn't, petroleum based lubricants are not good for your bushings
@@herrjonna2007 I see..
But I was considering that option because I wanted the rust to go off easily, as well. It wasn't only the bushing cushion that needed lubrication, but also the components of the suspension around it. And they were rusted... so I thought something strong like mobil/ Motor oil would wet and lubricate the whole thing and help me rub off the rust..
what do you suggest?
The suspensions would be replaced in a few months.
Dude you sound like Jimmy McGill!! 🤯
This is a bad idea. WD-40 May temporarily stop squeak but in the long run it will rot out your bushings any rubber Parts should not be sprayed with a petroleum based lubricant. Look for AT-205 to spray on there.
Use White Lithium Grease.
silicon grease not wd40
Im pretty sure my squeaks and creaks are because dirt gets into the coil springs
Bro my shock was 4 months old and was making a sqeak. I thought it was done. Did lithium greae and noise was gone thank you.
why do you talk and Not show you spraying wd40 on suspension shocks
what about I need an emergency solution with no available sprays of this kind?
can I use any kind of lubricant like old mobil(engine oil) to lubricate my suspensions for a small while?
whatever you do don't do that
Im no expert on suspension
But i feel like its better to get the suspension replaced if u want to spend once for longer periods rather than destroying rest of your components and spending twice as much on repairs. 😅
HEY EVERYBODYYYYYYYY!!!!
Thumbs down why you didn't lubricate it to show us
Awful video
Dude. Nobody do this. It’s gonna ruin the rubber and it’s not lubricant, it’s a degreaser
Yeah WD40 is NOT a lubricant. It is a degreaser and penetrant.
I missed the part "let them know"
If she bought it it’s hers
Lmfao xD
GT85 is better as it’s a lubricant.
Pro tip: WD40 is a terrible lubricant. its more of a rust cleaner with a tiny bit of lubricant that mostly evaporates off.
WD40 is anything but a lubricant.
As a mechanic student, i'd recommend this is NOT what to do list! It might works for a couple months but it shorten the life of suspensions. RIP suspension :(
Standard wd40 very bad for this job
MAAAZDA
WD40 is not a lubricant, it’s a water dispersant.
I believed its pronounced "mazda"
🤣🤣
its called, you need new struts
Lol
Do not use a solvent.
WD-40 is not a lubricant it's a degreaser look it up love your channel
@@TackJorrance You're right, it's not a degreaser. But it doesn't have fish oil in it, that's a myth.
@@TackJorrance Its not. Check the WD40 site, they address the myths including that one.
@@TackJorrance I said it's not a degreaser... And I was telling you because you said it had fish oil in it, which it doesn't.
Do not do this! It'll destroy your rubber bushings and components. This guy couldn't fix his way out of a wet paper bag.
Two days later he’ll wonder why his brakes won’t work. (And you will too)
Never use wd40 on suspension components it just dries up and makes it worse, bad advice
DO NOT use WD40
jabber...jabber....jabber...!!!...yada...yada...yada...!!!!...good info, ...but...
Please remove this video. At no point in this video did you give anything it comes close to good or correct advice
Lol we all know why we are here
Way too much taking 😅
Don't do this
This is terrible advice, as many of the other comments mention. Please don't do this. It will not last for years at all!
DONT DO THIS. This is a wet lubricant. It will collect dirt and grime and cause excess wear. WD 40 is really for clean or sealed environments. Maybe use a dry lubricant like graphite.
This will ruin your car in the long run.
You jacked the car off??? Pretty gay dude
