Default Help! My car turned into a mouse!

My car is squeaking like crazy! I just installed coilovers, kyb agx, and front and rear sway bars. I made sure the bushings were well lubed. How can I tell if the tires are rubbing on the fender liners? I only dropped approximately 1 inch. Please someone help!

What kind of car you got? Are you sure it's the suspension?

Thanks, I tried it last night, and it didn't work. I think its coming from the bushings from the sway bars. I have suspension techniques, and the bushings are really hard. I was just wondering if it could be the shocks that could be squeaking.

it might be your bushings.........take them off and go for a drive and see if the sound goes away. if it does then you need to put more lube on them.

and make sure you use the proper lube/greese for polyurathane bushings. that suff works good......

Alot of time, suspension components squeak as the weather gets colder-especially if your using poly urethane bushings. For me, it's something I luckily only have to deal with a few months in the year living in California. If the squeaking doesn't go away, don't fret-it most likely will when the weather warms up.

if you kept the rubber bushing in the top hat of the shocks that might also squeek. mine does when it gets cold so i shoot up some lube in that area and it cures mine...hope it helps.
