Hi guys. I got a bg5 and its squeaking really loud now. I know it is from the front suspension but I'm not really sure where. I just replaced my front shocks with KYB excel g, but it is still squeaking. I also noticed a few months back that I have some green liquid coming from a bushing, if I'm not mistaken, the front control arms. Would this be the culprit? I'm wondering what the green liquid is.

Thanks in advance.

I actually bent one of my lower control arms when i hit a curb, and theres only one bushing or bearing that can be leaking, and when i bent mine it broke the bearing/bushing and it was leaking a clear thick fluid.

Yup one bushing in the suspension arm is packed with lubricant.

I already replaced that bushing and a couple more and I still get the squeaking noise. Is it possible that the spring itself is squeaking coz minor bumps and uneven road causes the noise.

Yeah, I've actually noticed the same squeaking that your talking about, even after I've replaced the lower control arm, mine only squeaks when I'm pulling out of a parking lot, it would make sense that maybe the spring is the culprit.

Ok I replaced my bushing with pure rubber. And turns out 1 of the bushing clamps has a torn hanger. Had this replaced and squeaking is gone. Hopefully in the following days there won't be squeaking anymore.
