- Rear suspension -

Check the rear shock mounts. I had to replace them on my 95. Common problem on 850's. One good thing about 850's is that the rear suspension rarely needs work. However, my car has also recently developed a "squeak" that sounds like it might be the driver's side rear shock. Do you know if shocks develop "squeaks" when they are tired? If it needs shocks I guess I can't complain since the rear shocks are original at 220k...:)

I haven't been able to locate the noise yet. For now, I'm waiting for warmer weather before I dive into it. The weather is still cold here in New England.

- Front suspension -

Don't know what would squeak in the front end but I'd start by looking at the small stuff first. If you hear noise during tight turns then your bump stops need lubing. Bad sway bar end links make more of a "bang" noise on bumps. I would then move onto motor mounts, struts, tie rods and ball joints.

Good luck with the project! Sounds like it has some issues but nothing that is a deal breaker.
