suspension help installing new

[jasonlap]

Hi my front suspension sounds creaky when I'm going over small bumps at slow speeds I don't here it on the highway. But in the city going slow I do.

Is there a direct bolt on with new spring and shock all in one that I could install I just don't want to compress the front springs myself. Just to change the shocks. Dose anyone know where I could get a compleat bolt on kit. For a 2005 aveo it's realy a 2005 Pontiac wave but it's the same thing. I also want to change the back shocks too while I'm at it. Thanks car has 44000 miles on it

Thank you

this issue is most likely your sway bar bushings, do a search on here, the issue and solutions have been posted.

Okay thanks I did not think we had grease fittings on the 2005 aveo how could I grease them. Or should they just be changed . Dose anyone have a picture of what the sway bar bushings look like so I can make sure I check the right thing thanks

the sway bar bushing had a design change (or something i forget), but the newer ones are sipped to hold lubricant i believe. Any the are relatively cheap.

If you jack the car up, and take the front wheels off, you will see a bar the attaches to both struts with end links, it runs along the steering rack on top of the k frame. The bushings look like a D, flat side on the k frame, the sway bar goes through the hole, and the round Outer D has the brackr bolting it down.
