how to "fix" squeaky suspension (FOR FREE) on your BMW E90 E91 E92 E93

Use a silicone based grease/spray instead of the WD40 :)
Of course the more legitimate way to solve this issue is to replace the bushings, how ever my car does not behave like the bushings are bad. And this "fix" seem to hold for a surprisingly long period of time.

[@paulwhalen5605]

Great find man! I've been chasing that squeak for over a year now and you just fixed it my friend. Many, many thanks for sharing this! X5 V8

[@lilbirkk]

Super helpful! My 320i had a creaky rear arm and this method solved it. Used WD40 Lithium Grease and Gasket Silicone Glue. Garage quoted me £218 to replace an entire arm and this was technically free. Ideal!

[@mjgreen81]

Thank you! This worked for me on my 2013 3 series F30. My mechanic couldn't find the issue, but your video helped me fix it I used 3-in-one silicone lubricant as I think it is safer on the rubber and I used silicone gasket sealant adhesive to seal the hole which seemed to work nicely (I thought it would be more flexible than superglue). Thanks again! The noise was driving me crazy!

[@icohen93802]

Great video, fixed my squeak and now I know what to replace when it comes to it! Thanks a lot for the useful info

[@user-ov2sc3rt8b]

I love this sooo much, I used silicone as recommended in the comments and its done the trick perfectly. I can't tell you how much it was driving me nuts! Thank you - love this type of video super helpful.

[@salmantahir7814]

Any specific one you used ? Can you name it please Thanks 😊

[@GlasgowLoyalBlue]

absolute gem of a video - couldn't for the life of me find this noise until i came across your video going to be doing this later tonight - excellent info

[@scottcochrane1732]

how did it work out dude? planning on trying it this weekend?

[@brokeeastmeet]

Shout out to you homie 🙌🏻 I’ve been chasing this noise for about 3 months on and off spraying everything and ending up thinking the noise was coming from the bushing around the rear end area. Gave this a Hail Mary and it’s silent again 🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@brokeeastmeet]

Used “blaster silicone lubricant” though (for bushings)

[@alexpetre_]

Thank you for this video! It helped me fix my ‘07 318i squeaky noises. You’re a legend sir!

[@markoma77]

Great video, but wd40 is not used for such things because WD40 is not the best solution for lubrication, plus it can corrode the rubber in bushing, it is better to use some silicone grease in a spray, (for example Wurth Ultra 2040) which will lubricate the bushing much better, and will not corrode the rubber.

[@xedasxedas]

Wd40 it's a brand...that also makes silicone spray, not just the normal wd40 that it's more of degreaser and it's quite the opposite of the purpose of this video.

[@Dan-xk8qg]

I do agree, never use WD-40 on any rubbers it will destroy it!

[@benjaminpedersen6345]

@@xedasxedas Youre actually wrong here silicone is not a degreaser! Its purpose is still to grease and it works on rubber, metal and almost all surfaces! The good thing about the silicone is that it is water resistant and therefore will help keeping it greased. This isue comes from driving into floodwater therefore it helps to keep the water out. Therefore silicone if perfect for this problem. So marko is right

[@TheLoneRanger1992]

Great explanation! I'll try it in my vehicle (2013 bmw x1 xdrive) soon. Hopefully it works. Thank you so much!

[@markdewar4433]

Thanks for this! It's a hard noise to locate because it's difficult to replicate the noise with the wheel off and your head is in there. At the very least, when It comes back, I'll know which bushing I have to replace.

[@taylormahto2248]

It worked!! Ordering bushings now Thankyou

[@mackanistheshit]

No problem! Yeah new bushings is the permanent solution!

Tack så jättemycket 👍Bra Video 😎

[@jag8319]

Jaguar X-type 2.5 V6......just done this on my jag after weeks of squeaking. I was at my witts end and was ready for ordering both upper and lower control arms as I couldn't find where the noise was coming from. Copied the video and popped a hole in both sides of the lower control arm inner mount and the squeaking stopped instantly. I used WD40 specialist silicone spray ..... Will post again with updates so you guys know how long this hack can last for. Thanks mate, great video *****

Still Good?

Hehe glad it was helpful, yeah exactly the rubber on the sides are only dust seals/boots :)

[@snellman40]

Thank you for that video, is it still quiet?👍

[@MrSasaIC]

Worked on E36 1996 , thank you, but i used syringe and needle to pierce the rubber and filled it with motor oil, i think that is more durable then WD-40... Cheers!

[@fromthegods78]

Smart, they say full synthetic 5w30 does wonders!

[@18razinas]

Thank you ! Also helped me to fix that terrible noise 🙂

[@alanpawlowski7941]

Would it not be better to fill the bushing with poly urethane? (Window weld) from 3M

[@michaelg6641]

I have a 2001 Civic with that squeak, we sprayed down there but it came back, but this looks like it would get inside the material better. When its rainy out, the sound goes away, until its dry, then its very obvious going over bumps, and just replaced rear struts, then squeak started. Which seems like they're just screaming for some lubricant, I said to mechanic after the struts isn't there anything to oil down there at least, they act like they haven't a clue about any solutions.

[@StefanBergman]

Vidrigt sätt att att fixa missljudet på. Påminde ju om när de injicerar kyckling med vatten. Bra video mackan! Såg ju riktigt proffsigt ut.

[@mackanistheshit]

Haha ja lite skumt är det! Tack 👊🏻

[@raduorban]

Worked like a charm. Thanks !

[@TheGuyFromNorway]

Worked smooth on 320i with sillicone. Would recommend needle if you don't want or cant lift it up. 👍 I hope it lasts 🤣

[@mackanistheshit]

I think it will last longer than one would except! Yes I think it’s better to go with the silicon spray :)

[@tomreid9214]

Okay so I’m a novice when it comes to cars I have a 5 series f10 my front passenger squeaks like this when I rock it very loud I inspected it and the coils Spring is snapped on the bottom would this cause the squeak thanks

Its worked! Thanks brother🙏

What about the WD40 High−performance silicone spray? Does it wark?

I’ve done this but the noise doesnt come if I do it this way:( I’ve took it 3 garages and they couldn’t find the squeek. I lubed everything but noise is still there and doesn’t seem to go away I’ve changed my shock absorber and noise is still there What could cause this??I have a bmw e90:(

Ha ha, try door dashing up to houses, not good. Got same worse squeak noise on civic, now I got possible quick fix. Just put rear struts on it, then this comes up, the squeak which never had before.

[@youdirtydog2207]

Nice I just bought a E93 and after going on the expressway and trying to break it in to my comfort , started to hear a squeak sound

Could be these bushings! How ever if you plan to keep the car in the long run I would replace the bushings. But this is a neat trick to keep them quiet until you do. I can update you, that they are still quiet :)

[@omidashouri9950]

it works on f30 / 31??

[@sugarkang]

I thought WD-40 is petroleum based and will destroy your bushings. Shouldn't you use silicone spray or AT205 reseal?

[@mackanistheshit]

It probably is :) How ever it doesn’t matter I think. This will only give you time and courage to actually replace the bushing :)

[@archie6962]

Hej, Bra video ! Måste man ta bort hjulet för att komma åt att spraya bussningarna ?

Sjukt bra video. Rakt på sak som det ska va

[@user-lk2di2ct5c]

Add after the gasket sealer on the hole and you use red grease for ball joints

[@worldwidesports4k]

Thank you sir 👍👍

[@ryans413]

Could you use grease inside the bushing would that work too

[@mackanistheshit]

Will be hard to get the grease inside the bushing

[@KTM-Beta]

Motorex sells a spray grease that probably could work for this application. Orherwise there are thicker, more lubricating spray oils for motorbike chans that also is kind to the rubber seals since they are intended for O-ring chains.

[@volkanmorgul4819]

Tank you bro 🙏

[@Slisktord]

Replacing this bushing looks quite easy, but would it require a wheel alignment afterwards? My shitty f31 sounds exactly like this

[@eduarddragomir6380]

Yeah, it needs an alignment

[@Slisktord]

​@@eduarddragomir6380 yeah I thought so. I bought a needle adapter for my grease gun and filled the bushings with silicone grease instead, hasn't had a single squeak in a year now. 10/10 would recommend to anyone having this issue. Made it on my F31 and my brothers F82

[@rondhole]

Never use petroleum base on rubbe? Use silicon spray or silicon grease

[@norbrick8539]

Wont the rubber be a weak point afterwards?

[@mackanistheshit]

In my opinion this is a temporary fix to keep the car quiet, until you replace the bushings. How ever it will be quiet for at least a year :)
