when ever i go over the smallest bump or road imperfection the rear squeaks...now if the shocks were blown i thought the car would bounce up and down the road...could it be b/c i put new oem bushings in the rear lca? or do u think my shocks are blown? setup: gr motorsports 2inch lowering springs/bilstein hd shocks

 

check the swaybar bushings/endlinks

 

i didnt put them on yet...ive had the suspension for awhile but the car just sits in the garage...havent even put a thousand miles on it yet...it sucks b/c i i jus bought some ground-controls w/ the adapter for bilsteins and if there blown i would have to acquire the adapter and jus buy some konis

You dont have swaybars on the car? If the front bushings/endlinks are bad they will make a bunch of noise, its really annoying.

 

no i didnt put sways on yet cuz i was waiting to install my polybushings and gc's

 

ttt

 

did you take the factory swaybars off of the car? if not, you have swaybars.

i stand corrected.

 

no it did not come w/ them its a 95 civic dx coupe

 

Did this start right after you put the new bushings in?

 

everything went on at the same time..bushings,spring,shock..maybe its b/c its like 19 degrees out but i dont even drive the car like that it just sits in the garage and i might drive it like 3 times a month. the bilstein hd's are good shocks are they not? i was doing my research and i've read a few times that they are one of the best non adjustable struts if not the best

 

Try this - loosen the rear LCA bolts (all 3) and drop the car on the ground. Dont remove them (d'uh), bounce the rear suspension a few times then torque them to spec w/ teh car on the ground (i think its 40-43 ft-lbs for all of them).
