987687 Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 I can't really find any good information about this. 98 legacy has a really annoyingly squeaky clutch pedal, I can't see anywhere obvious to grease the thing. I sprayed some lube at it, but nothing. It's definitely the pedal, not the clutch or cable or transmission or anything like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grimaceNMike Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 My 93 legacy has a squeaky brake pedal every couple weeks as well. I don't understand why it happens or why the noise goes away, its almost like the temperature of the plastics or rubbers in the pedal varies and makes it squeak from time to time. I used to think it was gonna snap, but so far it has held. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairtax4me Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 Is that one cable or hydraulic? Ive seen the bushings wear out in the pivot where the pushrod for the MC attaches and cause some awful noise when they get to metal on metal. Have also seen plenty of worn pedal pivot bushings make awful sounds. The pedal has to be unbolted from the box and removed to install new bushings.

987687 Posted August 24, 2016 Author Share Posted August 24, 2016 Cable, I was worried the solution was gonna be "take apart the pedal box"... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairtax4me Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Sometimes the assist spring gets rusty and will squeak. Did you spray that with oil? Lithium spray grease works best because it sticks to it and stays there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
987687 Posted August 25, 2016 Author Share Posted August 25, 2016 I did, however that's a good point. I'll try to get the grease worked in between the spring and the metal, not just randomly spraying it in there... I used white lithium grease in the hopes it wouldn't drip on my feet....

987687 Posted August 26, 2016 Author Share Posted August 26, 2016 Well, I only have room to park one car at my apartment for school, so the subaru is parked next to my rusted out lifted GL until winter time... I just did new balljoints, rack boots, a clutch, and something else I forget. Ran out of time to mess with the clutch pedal. This will be revived when they start putting salt on the roads and I stop driving the Mercedes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
