First things first.. My passenger side door squeaks no matter what i spray on it. Any ideas on that?


Secondly, my car seems to flex when I go over speed bumps slowly.. My car is lowered. Its also been raining, which I noticed that when its a bit colder, parts and whatnot extract to a certain extent.

Could it be that my bushings on the a arms are going?

Shouldn't my car be more "tight" as far as turning and driving??

Any help wouldbe great. I feel like there is something that can be done to "tighten up" the car.

ok so this started to happen when you added lower springs

i have a 95 318ti have about 160,000miles still runing strong
i started added aftermarket parts
first thing i did was change the OE springs for H&R 2.25 springs
after a few weeks later of driving softer then squeaking sounds started appearing on all for sides and when it rained all you hear is loud squeaking sound.
i found that my shocks went bad heres a link ( http://community.webshots.com/scripts/editPhotos.fcgi?action=showMyPhoto&albumID=281684490&photoID=281701457&security=VrfoPV )
changing the shocks and mounts solved the squeaking.

Might be since your car got stiffened it is bringing out more noise. I notice noises coming from the passenger door panel and right rear seat side panel when it's real cold. I think most of the noise is from friction/pressure on the insulating/sound deadening foam when the car structure flexes ever so slightly.
