Squeaking in the rear

aveezy · 03-11-2010, 10:19 PM

Hey everyone having a bit of problems recently...i've never had it before but everytime I hit a little bump or go over a little hill the rear of the car is always squeaking...it's starting to get annoying and I don't really know what's the cause of it..I'm on stock suspension...car isn't lowered but I did put in some skunk2 lca's and the progress 24 mm adjustable sway bar with endlinks...the problems never happened when I had everything stock...could it be the lca's or is the suspension going bad??
The car has 66,000 miles on it...thanks in advance

Sorry to sound like such a noob but I don't usually do my own installs on the car...butthe bushings are the 2 gold things that the bar goes through right...and how hard is it to remove...does it involve any profession tools or the basics...or can I just spray some wd40 over it...thanks for the help bro

you might be able to get it to stop squeaking by spraying something on it, WD-40 wouldnt be my choice, you want something like grease.

Otherwise you just need to remove those 2 gold brackets, then slip the rubber bushings off, clean and re-grease between the sway and rubber bushing, then put it all back together. Should take you no more than 20min.

What would be your choice of grease to put on if you don't mind me asking

Lithium or Silicone grease.

Or you can just turn up the radio to solve you problem.
