Strange squeaking noise N/S/F

[jackmcd]

Hi Folks

My new '93 Micra had a check up from the garage the other day and got a clean bill of health!

My only real concern I had asked them about was a noise from around the front wheel whenever I went over a bump / dip in the road. I had presumed suspension, but they showed me the other joints etc that move at the same time making it difficult to locate the sound. They said they couldnt see anything obvious and taking things apart to investigate would cost me money when everything seems to be working fine.

Are there any common faults in K11s this could be? Or are there ways of isolating movemement of the various bits to locate the source..?

Any tips or thoughts appreciated.

Cheers

spray wd40 on every point individually and test it sort of thing to pin point it!

Check the rubber dust cover thats over the shocker (it sits behind the spring).

When i first bought my car i had a similar squeak, it turned out the rubber cover had shifted and was slightly rubbing on the spring as the suspension moved.

Ah - checking the cover sounds a simple place to start, thanks!
