My rear end has been having some excessive noise lately. I lubed up the sway bar bushings and it got a little quieter, but it is still noticeably annoying. What else could be causing this? I am lowered on Progress springs and have KYB's all around with Racingline end-links.

shock mounts, the rusty end-links, other bushings, what can it be?

 

Are the suspension gurus not here today?

 

you need to be more specific about the nature of the noise and try to get a more specific location for it before we can help, and describe when this noise happens (turning, straight, braking, going over bumps, etc..)

"noise from the back of the car" could be anything from a blown strut to your emergency jack not locked down securely.

 

ALL of those... which is why I am baffled with this crap! And wouldn't it be a blown shock in the rear?

 

Bushings on struts bad? Strut bolt loose?

 

How though?! car has only 34,xxx miles on it. Could it be that it is lowered? Could it be a bad shock mount?

Oh, and the noise is equivalent on both sides in the rear if that tells anyone something.

 

Can it be that my rear shocks are blown? I noticed today that in a turn, if smooth, it is quiet, but right when I hit a "bump" while in a turn, it squeaks a lot!

 

sounds like something is loose. Double check to make sure all suspension bolts back there are torqued to spec.

 

If something from the shock were to be loose, then wouldn't I feel the car shaking or vibrating at higher speeds? I will definitely check this tomorrow, but that just seems a little odd.

thanks for the info
