Everytime i seem to get in or out of the car or go over a bump the rear suspension squeeks. If anyone knows what it could be let me know. Maybe bushings?? Has anyone else had this problem???
 
grease the bushings on the rear sway. they're near the center under the car. that's a temp fix...check with evolv for his set-up...they're usually 175CAN ish...and i've heard nothing but good things.
 
Yeah, I just installed my bracket a week or so ago, and it's great. It's called the AXR clunk fix bracket. It relocates the rear sway bar bushings to help handling and prevent bushing failure. The original location causes the bushings to wear out prematurely and causes a squeek, then a clunk.
 
I've read it once on the board, as there are many, many, many threads on this, that for the SQEEK, all you need to do is unclamp the sway bars, take some sanding paper and scrach the sway bar at the point the clamps "bushings" hold it. To me this is the way to go for the squeek. The clunk however you probably should go with the AXR clunk bracket. I'm just goign to replace the bushings.

So the problem is the sway bar bushings and not the strut bushings??
 
When you guys did the Sway bar bushing install, did you remove the bar all together or leave it connected to the end-links?
