Subject:Suspension squeaks

Vanners,

My '87 syncro suspension has always made noise but on an 800 mile trip over
thanksgiving it started getting louder and continuouser [yes that's a word.
Look it up in the dictionary. My dictionary]

Questions:

Is it likely to be a sign of something seriously degrading in the suspension
[front mostly]?

What's the best stuff to put in there to quiet it?

If it's likely to be a sign of something serious my thought was to shoot the
quietener [another real good word] stuff in there starting at the bottom
connections. Shoot one per side. Drive it. Check for noise. And move up.

Sound like a good plan?

Mike in Marin
