I just had tokico illuminas and tokico race springs (a package deal I couldn't pass up) installed. This setup is amazing...but its squeaky as all heck. It sounds like it is only coming from the back 2, not the front. It isn't noticable at speeds above 25, but in stop and go traffic, as well as slow speeds (5-15mph) and getting out of the car, its incredibly squeaky. On the back, there are two metal bushings that sit between each side of the lower bolt on the shock, where it attaches on the trailing arm, could this be the culprit? Any help is appreciated, I have to get this fixed, it is driving me crazy.

 

Get used to it and get a rear strut bar.

 

lol. So is there no way to get that damn sound to go away then?

 

Not ususally......most of the time it is the chasis. Siffer suspension makes things squeak that wouldn't on a softer suspension.

The strut bar may make it go away.....less flex.

 

Alrighty. Thank you sir.

 

get some bushing spray and soak all the rubber bushings..if there polyurethane ones..soak them in silicone..should help but its just a temp. fix..only real fix is to go to energy suspensions and change out all the rubber bushings even then its not a sure cure

 

Yeah, a good temp fix is to get some silicone lube spray and just douse all your susp points with it. It is only temp but will help.
