During my trip to the WCR I had a VERY loud squeek from the left rear suspension. After removing the shock, break and rear sway bar I can lift the trailing arm up with NO resistance and NO noise. Is it possible that it could be noisy only with the weight of the car on it? I bought some polygraphite bushings for it. Should I use them or opt for the more expensive roller bearing bushing, or poly bronze etc.? Are the rear roller bearing bushings even available any more?
Cheers, Elliot Attached thumbnail(s) |

Does it wobble side to side? You need to disconnect the CV to find out....the bushing could be toast....I know the one on my recent blue car was....heard the same noise.
