im buying a 94 eg hatch with tokiko blue shocks and ground control coils. it creaks alot and i was wondering if there is anything i can do. i have had a lowered mazda protege which i just sold and it had a little bit of the same problem. fixed it with new strut mounts. is that all i wouild need to do?

 

It's probably a combination of the top mounts and the suspension itself. Sometimes sleeve-over coilovers can make some creaks as you extend and depress the suspension. I'd say fix the top mounts first then go from there.

good luck

 

might it just need new bushings in the back? i will probably get thge polyurethane full kit for the car

 

dose it have a rear sway bar?
i had an oem type r and it would creak alot because of the bushings. the ones on the end links

 

I just replaced my rear trailing arm bushigns last night and any creak I did have is now gone. Old ones were pretty bad being original from '94.

and yeah, the endlinks do squeak a bit on the type-r/ed/dc2 style rear sway bars, the bushings that go into the holes on the ends of the bar.

 

which bushings did you replace, and with which ones (url?)?

Cheers
