scoob fae ork Posted December 4, 2008 Posted December 4, 2008 Am in the middle o polishing me car and i noticed that the rear spoiler has a small amount of movement in it which also seems to be the cause of a squeak thats been there for a good while now all bolts are tight so why would it do this ?? anyone else have this problem ?
scouk Posted December 4, 2008 Posted December 4, 2008 (edited) I've got a similar squeak ever since fitting the pridrive wing to mine.. bugs the hell outta me on small bumps.. I "thinK" with me it's actually the boot springs (torsion bar thingies) as if I gently open the boot and wave it aroudn a bit, I can recreate the similar squeak.. I did try putting grease on teh torsion bars.. Seemed to help for a few days.. Was goign to try get a coupel rubber strips and try dampen the noise.. I know what your sayign though.. If I push my wing, gently, from the side it creaks a bit.. P.s. Polishing in this weather! Brave man Mines long overdue a simple wash Edited December 4, 2008 by ScoUK
st3ph3n Posted December 4, 2008 Posted December 4, 2008 The boot catch can sometimes slip. It happened on my car. Basically the catch on the car needed moved down a couple of mm so that when the boot shut it was a tighter fit. Fixed my rattles.
colzo Posted December 4, 2008 Posted December 4, 2008 I had a squeak on my 03 STI which I thought was the spoiler from the outside but seemed to be the boot hinges. Fixed it with some silicon grease. What I've noticed on these newage STI spoilers is the high speed vibrations they have!

cullenmin Posted December 4, 2008 Posted December 4, 2008 You should shake an evo 6 spolier, shakes like mad, very flimsy Rich
