Hello all, First, I'd like to thank this forum for helping me with identifying parts and general tips and hints. A while ago, I started looking into replacing the shocks and struts on my '14 Spark EV since they were making lots of noticeable squeaks. We are the 3rd owner of this Spark EV and...

You guys are right! Parking brake cable! I could feel it loosening when I disengage the parking brake! Thank you very much!

Hi all, Does anybody know what this part is called? https://imgur.com/a/RCspKUA I accidentally broke this thing while lowering my (pictured) rear wheel axle. I tried looking at a crapton of different parts website but found nothing! The infuriating this is that I see this thing on my Repair...

I may just have to, I'll report back with that effort

Hello, My 2014 Sparky EV squeaks a lot when I go over bumps, methinks it's about time to replace the shocks. I am having the hardest time finding OEM shocks. At this point, I don't mind going with aftermarket parts, but I don't think anybody knows. Does anybody have experience with replacing...

Hello all, Anybody here experience squeaking when going over bumps? My spark has 53k miles and is a 2014. I'm pretty familiar with the electric power train but I have not worked on suspension systems before. So my question is this: how do you know if the issue is bearing related or shocks...
