[QUOTE="Ben Geller, post: 852289, member: 67601"] So another update... I drove the ST last night and found a few things that puzzled me. Went to start it up, it started, then died, started it again, same thing... finally 3rd attempt, started it, it tried to die, I gave it a little gas and it came to life. Started I take it for a ride, I do the standard front end tests... tight circles, bumps, accelerating while turning and there is no play, grinding, or anything to worry about. I stop and when the front end reached it's lowest point, there's a very loud squeek, so I test this out by accelerating and stopping, and it squeeks constantly whenever there is weight on the front end. It really does sound like people having fun on a old squeeky mattress. So here's what I need from you great people. I would assume that the CEL is from the stalling on startup... What would cause this? The squeeking is driving me crazy.. Is this bushings??? Thanks! [/QUOTE]
