Vantage suspension squeak
 

Today I noticed pretty loud squeaking from my suspension just driving on the road. More so when hitting bumps. Can't say I've noticed it before. I think it's coming from the front. Has anyone had this? It's a 9k miles 2013 6MT. Thanks.

I had the same issue on my 2011 with 8k miles which sounded like a rubber duck rolling through the underground. Not sure if it's the same issue but I jacked up the car with the tire fully off the ground and it went away upon lowering. This was completely by fluke that it worked as I was swapping rims.

That is odd.

Sounds like you've got an unhappy bushing or strut. Has the car gotten very dirty? Could have some muck in a tight spot. I'd get it up in the air and put a jack under a tire to get some up and down action to try and locate the actual squeak.

That's a good idea I'll do that.

I'm finally going to look at this on Sunday. I kind of doubt I'll see anything visually that identifies the problem. I hope it's something simple. It's embarrassing, it makes the noise over every little bump, mostly noticeable after I've driven the car for at least 5-10 minutes. It almost sounds like a squeaky bed.

Hi

Apologies for the thread resurrection

What was the resolution to your noisy front suspension?

Thanks

I have the same thing, its either the sway bar bushings or the upper control arm bushings

I've been lazy and haven't done any work on the car but maybe sometime this weekend i'll check it out

edit: lol didn't notice this was from 2016

This happens to me, but only on very cold days and until the car warms up

Suspension Squeak/Noise
 

Hey Guys:

Regarding the suspension noise/squeak:

I've have had a similar noise/squeak in my suspension for years now and I been after my franchised Aston dealer to locate/determine the source of it (to no-avail)... mine's at the rear of the car. I finally found this post of the same noise but coming from the front suspension of a DB9...
I hope this helps.

The noise was discovered/noted whilst the car was under warranty, however I have little faith that Aston will step up and pay for the repair (along with a couple of paint bubbling issues). Sadly, Aston has no money to keep this customer happy...

I had the same thing on my 2012 Virage. Actually had it twice.
First time replaced all the upper control arms as the bushings were gone but you can not buy bushings separately.
Second time it was noticed that a part of the body (under carriage) was rubbing on another part of the body. A mild bend fixed it.

About a year ago I experienced a creaking sound when backing out of my driveway...it was minor and I didn't think much of it., did not even mention it when I took my car in for annual maintenance.
My dealer did notice and replaced both front and rear control arms under the extended warranty...noise gone.
Thanks,

Both Miller Motor Cars in Greenwich, CT and Aston Martin Summit, NJ completely miss-diagnosed this (seemingly common) problem. To say I'm disappointed is an understatement. I love the brand, I hate the customer service.

I replaced my front upper control arms per aston1936 and the squeaks disappeared. Then I started getting some squeaks from the rear when the weather was cool.

An Aston tech revealed that he uses a a silicone grease to keep the squeaks away. I applied it to the rear upper bushings and it's been quiet ever since:

OEM Honda Shin-etsu Silicone Grease 100g 08798-9013

Thanks guys

Looks like Upper control arms are a common denominator

My noise only starts after driving for about 15 minutes and would appear to be the right hand front

Its booked in next week so will point them in that direction
