After finding one rear bushing had failed, I replaced all of the rear bushings with a new Elephant re-greaseable polybronze bushing kit (including the shafts). The rear suspension still squeaks (not the front) I was under the impression that the Elephant bearings would cure the squeaking.
What else is there that could be sqeaking? Nick |

Role the car up on something short, like the solid 4'' cinder-blocks under all four wheels and have someone big jump up and down on a corner while you feel each joint underneath, That way you might be able to isolate where it's coming from. As well...
Another source of squeaks is when some of the structural sheet metal has broken away from the spot welds and the two pieces are rubbing each other. If this bushing-hunt doesn't turn up anything I'd go that direction, or make sure nothing in your spring system is amiss. Good luck! |
