Whats up people....Just looking for a place to start to solve the squeaking that has developed in my suspension. I started to notice it a few days ago going over small bumps that I'm getting squeaks from my suspension. Mostly sounds like its comming form the rear end. I tested it. When parked in the garage I can compress the rear end and it sounds like a rusting gate. My setup is Bilstien Sports and BavAuto springs. What can I lube or spray and with what. It kinda embarassing. Sounds like a old pinto.

any ideas??

Look at swaybar links, swaybar bushings, and rear dogbones (pitman arms). The links would have to be replaced and also the dogbones. No way to lube or make it go away. The swaybar bushing could probably use a cleaning. Since you have the stock swaybars, the rubber cannot be lubed. I wonder if gummi fledge would work on the insides....

The parking brake will squeal like hell if you're compressing the suspension with it on. Don't set the parking brake when you're looking for squeaks.
