squeaky rear of car

[APiC]

i know that the front suspension is extremely squeaky when it gets really cold out, but recently as the weather has been getting warmer i have noticed a new squeak coming from my car, only this time its from the rear of the car. anyone else have this sound and know how to get rid of it?

Change your rear sway bar bushings.

i actually just got my car back from the dealer, they did that under warranty, but the sound is still there.

i stick with rear sway bar bushings too honestly. mine are so bad i can hear it with the engine off, parked, just getting in or out of my car.

Yeah mine where the same way. I took my car to the dealer two times to get it fixed, the second time they got it right but yeah it's the bushings. Swap them s**** out.

Don't bother replacing the oem bushings with another set of oem bushings. They wear out prematurely due to their placement/location on the swaybar. I bought a set of urethane bushings (20mm) from AWR.

I used to get those horrible squeaking sounds getting out of my car which have now stopped since I used the urethane bushings. I need to lube my bushings now, but it a great deal quieter than the oem ones.

I never bothered with the dealer and changed them myself since I knew the source of the squeaking.

damn guys, thanks a lot. im gonna call the dealer and see what they can do.

if you squirt the bushings with WD40 it fixes it for a few weeks not sure if it's good for them though

 

[APiC]

i am going to try to spray wd-40 and see how that works...where am i supposed to spray? when i get under my car i cant seem to reproduce the squeak sound no matter what i do.

Just letting you know, I went and replaced my bushings today with a set from AWR. First time doing it, so time was about 1 hour, and drove the car for about 30-40miles today so far and the squeak is gone, even went over a couple of speed bumbs, no squeak, which is a relief, very easy job to do.

time: aprx. 1hr

difficulty: so easy, a caveman could do it

Just my input on the AWR cheap fix.

 

[APiC]

which awr bushings did you use, the mp3 ones?

 

[Jgar_msp]

yes, the 20mm rear sway bar bushings
