What have you done to your MSP today?

sounds like bushings, not struts.... get a can of spray lithium and hose them down and see if it goes away...
The entire time I drive the rear end creaks, when I turn, go around curves, come to a stop, take off from a light or a stop, go over bumps, basically all the time. It started out light where it was only going around curves and stopping now it is all the time. I dont remember my front swaybar bushings doing this when they needed to be replaced. They only creaked when I went over speed bumps.
 
the rears are known to do this if they're not replaced every 12-15K... its due to the faulty design/location of the rear mounting points. The AXR clunk fix moves them to the location they SHOULD be. you can lube em as a temporary solution, or replace them as a slightly longer temporary solution...
 
My car has been squeaky as all get out lately too - loud enough that the security guy at my work parking deck asked me if my car was okay after I squeaked over some speedbumps on the way out! :p They just need to be re-greased. Luke greased them up awhile ago, but we've had some pretty rough rains the past few months...

some one sells a setup to move the bushing?

this is a strange order to ask the question after the answer was given. Is this Jeopardy?

That is damn fine news! I am gonna get one soon, just dont have the time right now (getting ready to graduate) I was asking about struts and shocks in case it was that and not the bushings if the grease did not work. Money is tight right now. (notcool)
 
grease first. then pick up a new set of bushings if that doesn't do it... (pretty cheap from AWR or factory)... THEN if that still doesn't do it get shocks...
 
after you spend 15 years paying back loans and working menial BS cases that aren't important enough for the people who make the real money..

I don't mean to bag on you, I just wouldn't be willing to sacrifice that much time and put myself that far in debt... to each their own.
 
You're running raised boost, right? run the NGK 7 series plugs (step colder) and make sure they're gapped right... I'm running the stock temp, and they did WONDERS for my car compared to Bosch Platnium +2s... *shudder*

Lol I think it was a lot better because the bosches were taken out.

And the protege is not coil over plug its a mock coil over plug...which is where the downfall is. The 1.8 system has equal length wires pretty much where as the 2.0 system varies the length quite a bit

its COP for 2 cylenders, and CNP for 2... i see your point... however length isn't so much a concearn for performance nearly so much as for failure (spark energy travels at almost the speed of light). and the COP/CNP setup has significantly less wire... but, if some didn't believe in it, no one would do the conversion. again, to each their own.

as for the Bosch's, I 100% agree.
