anyone had this problem?

something on the rear of my car is making squeaking noise, i think this is the problem. has anyone had this problem and how to fix it? i think i went to nissan to see if they make just ath bushing, but they told me i have to buy the entire rear arm.

Even if that isn't the problem, it should be fixed.

since the bushing cannot be found, does anyone think it's possbile just to tape off the area and inject polyurethane in that hole----> making your own bushing. is that a possibility people???

There is a thread on how to adjust the rear beam after lowering to prevent this from happening after you repair it.

The only spot I can think of would be your local car scrap yard, where you may be able to get just the piece you need instead of the whole arm ... if you try the polyurethane fill your self be sure to let us know how it comes out ..

my maxima also does this but it sounds like it's the rear passenger side spring but it's not really too noticeable unless you're moving like at 5km and go over a bump

even if it is rust it looks like its only the surface, which shouldn't be an issue..

nah buddy i'll take both sets of wheels lol. as long as it doesn't lose air or vibrate like crazy while driving everything is good. how much do you think a shop will charge to take the dent out? our should i pull a fix-it like Ray and smash it out with a mallet?

a regular hammer and a 2x4 will do wonders. but i dont think that's necessary yet.
