this is driving me nuts.

everytime i go over a little bump, i get a squeak...

i replaced my shocks (the stockers were still on with 147k on them) :eek:

so that solved my bounce and weight transfer dip problem. but i still get a squeak.. it sounds like bushing/rubber squeak.

any ideas? rear swaybar bushings are smashed somewhat. maybe PHR??

I've got the same problem, it started a couple days ago.

I'm going to look into it tomorrow and i'll try to let you know what I find.

Well I can't seem to find it:mad: , it's coming from the right side of the car, but i'm thinking it's a rubber bushing also, just have to find which it is.:dontknow:

Try to spray the bushings on the lower control arms,and the rest of the suspension parts with that lithium spray lube, that might help.

im gonna try and lube the PHB and LCAs during the week.

its only when i hit a speedbump and the rear goes over and when it comes down it makes the noise, and when i back out of my driveway.

Mine too. Same year car, i keep putting it off. I only drive it sat,and sun, so i dont deal with it everyday. I bet once you do that the noise will be either gone or a lot quieter.

Don't forget the upper spring isolators...

The rear lower control arms slide over and rub against the differential where they mount.Look at the inside edge of the lca's and see if theres fresh rust. The stockers always make noise. replaced them a million times at the dealer.

check your rear springs... my passenger one just started rubbing on the panhard a week or so ago. I'm going to set the rear down later and see why
