I have all new suspension on my car (Shocks, springs, lower and upper control arms, all new balljoints...) and my car is sqeaky as hell, especially when i take inclines really slow (like pulling into my driveway really slow) its just creaky as hell.

I tried squirtin some grease (white lithium) on the moving parts and it helped for like a day but then it just started sqeaukin again. It doesnt effect performance or anything but its just annoying as all hell, im thinking maybe the swaybars are causing the majority of the noise and i just need to regrease the bushings but i was wondering if anyone else has similar issues and what they did to resolve it...

What is the correct grease to use on the swaybar bushing/mounting points? I have the suspension techniques kit (poly bushings)

That's your problem right there. Marine grease may last a few months at best.

ok yeah the last time i actually greased the bushing on the bars was about 2 years ago, time for a fresh coat i guess.

You say marine grease is best? The stuff they came with was really thick n sticky

My car is so damn squeaky all the time. Any bump on the road, inclines, whatever. Just turn the radio up.

that's why you don't bitches. My wife just yells over the radio and the squeaks. furthermore, if you're on a date should not be takin the civic anyways; that's why I have a nicer date car.

Yeah, ditto that, that's what my friend's viper or my GTI is for (though none of them have a back seat (I pressume you can attempt something in the back of the GTI though it's a tight fit no matter how you split it)) -- But my civic doesn't squeak to begin with, maybe b/c I don't have any aftermarket support bars.

I know my GTI was squeaking when I went over weird inclines like that but I forgot what I replaced to get rid of it... I wanna say struts but I'm not sure if that's what it was.. It does sound like a sway bar though, greese it up is ur only bet if it continues to do that...and I don't know what greese is best for that :-\

Good Luck

Maybe that's because your Civic is totalled. Nice work.

poly bushing will make a little noise.. its the price you pay! its like motor mount inserts will make alot of stuff rattle in your car.. same idea
