Squeaking noise after suspension replacement - Hyundai Performance Forums

Just got my car back from its 6 month service. Mechanic told me that the right front suspension needs to be replaced. Paid AU$400 for the suspension replacement. Yesterday while I was driving downhill, I noticed a squeaking (metal to metal) sound when I was either breaking or turning the steering wheel when I was going downhill. Anyone knows what might be wrong with it? Before I send it in, AGAIN, to get that noise checked out because its annoying the hell outta me. I'm not sure if it has anything to do with the new suspension but it seems to be coming from the front right side. Cheers

If it is metal to metal, there has to be rubbing somewhere. If it was a brake sound, the caliper is binding, not letting the pads release.

Most suspension components have rubber bushings at pivot points that can squeak if they are not greased when they are installed. The grease should be applied to any exposed rubber..
