Hey guys, I have a problem with squeaks coming from my rear suspension. I have Arospeed drop springs that are about 2 years old and Tokico Illuminas 5-way shocks that are about 1 year old. I have stock rubber bushings and my car is a '97 EX. From inside the car while I'm driving I can hear the squeaking coming from what sounds like the springs or in that area. You can also notibly hear it from the outside while I'm driving. Also, if I get out of the car and push down on the rear end of it.. it squeaks. Any ideas what may be causing this annoying noise ?? It JUST started.

 

bump!

 

maybe it has dried up a bit and needs some luberication .. get some spary lube and try i'm pretty sure it would work ....

 

What the rubber bushings ?

 

I realize now that this squeaking is only coming from the rear driver's side and it only makes a noise when the suspension compresses.

Any ideas ??? Should I take the wheel off ??

 

is suspension setup right? mine would squeak because it wasn't setup right

also could be your sway bar bushings

 

Setup right in what respect ?? The car is a '97... I doubt its the rubber swaybar bushings. It seems to be making the squeaking noise in the spring area...

If I get out of the car and push up and down on the rear drivers side.. it's squeaks like crazy. I have arospeed drop springs and tokico illuminas 5-way.

 

no one knows ???

bump

 

are your springs sitting in on the rubber bushings on top and bottom?

 

well.. it was all installed correctly by my mechanic and has never squeaked. But now the driver's side rear spring/shock area when pushed down on or while on the road makes a loud squeaking noise while the suspension compresses. All bushings are stock rubber and the car is a '97 model year so I doubt they're dry rotted.

Well, what would you suggest I do to tackle this situation myself ? Jack the one side up ? then what...
