93 850 getting old 850

Hi guys, I have a few questions I could use some help with. Firstly, I have a loud creaking sound coming from my front suspension. It's on both sides and anything I go over in the road creaks loudly. Any ideas what to look for to remedy this? I've had this noise for quite a long time now. Secondly, do you know of any suspect areas to look for a slow coolant leak. I'm loosing coolant somewhere, not enough to puddle under the car and there's nothing in the oil. Any suggestions would be welcome. Can any one recommend a good place to get new or used misc. parts for my 850. Stuff like a oil dipstick, ac fan knob, lightbulbs for the dash, etc. Again, thanks alot.

    My 94 suddenly got the squeeks at all the suspension joints, right after I gave it a good under-body power wash to get rid of all the winter salt and gunge this spring. The noise was almost scary, but all went away after I got under with an aerosol can of silicone lubricant and sprayed all the likely places.
    I have started using the same stuff on all the rubber door seals, etc.

      I have had great luck with Swedish engineering for new parts.

      Where are you located??


      Check all of the bushings, ball joints, etc. There might be some of them that have play in them and need to be tightened/replaced.
