I have a SSR rear suspension set up. ( Lower Controll Arm, Tie bar, Sway bar). For anyone with this setup or other simliar setup, doyou know why there is a squeaky noise? I am thinking that maybe the bushing is new and it need to be broken in.

If you know or have any ideas of how to get ride of the squeaky noise, please let me know. Thank you for all your help and advice, any ideas will help at this pooint.

 

Any Ideas?

 

The best thing to do first is to find out if it's coming from the right or left side. Helps narrow down where you need to look/check.

Also, did you put some grease in the bushings before installing those?

 

When you put all the new suspension pieces on did you greese up all the bolts and holes that would be rubbing or moving? Maybe a dab of some kind of synthetic greese on each of the pieces would quite things down a little more or solve the problem entirely.

 

i have the same setup and i have no noise problems

 

Make sure you lubed up all the bushings. Does it sqeak all the time? or when you go over bumps? Or turn a certain way? That would help narrow it down what is squeaking. Rick

 

Lube is the key. Most do not squeek with out lube. But you might have to lube them.

 

No I did not grease any of the bushing or bolts . Does anyone know what type of grease or Lube I should use?

 

The lube that comes with the kit. But I used bearing lube...something that resists moisture

 

Or just go to a shop that sells Energy Suspension stuff and buy their brand of lube.

 

white lithium

 

I agree with the Lube.. ya gotta do that on the right spots to prevent the squeaking.
We have installed quite a few of these kits.. and thats all you need to get the squeak here and there to go away.

 

Thanks,

Does this mean then I have to have to take the whole kit apart and lube all the bushing?

 

Coat it with lube without taking it apart. This should solve your problems (did for me). If not, just pop them off, doesnt take too long.
