  • can sway bars squeak?

    i'm still on my quest to fix this annoying squeak that is coming from the rear of my car. everytime i hit the slightest bump, i get this squeak from the rear. i changed my shocks, greased my lca's, lubed all the hatch hinges, but the squeak is still there.

    i was under the car today and i was hitting the rear sway bar and as i was hitting it the same sound was being produced. that god awful squeak... so can this be THE problem. maybe my bushing are shot? need advice

    Stock sway bars and bushings? Grease them up real good and make sure the bushings have no movement and endlinks are just slightly tight.

        So since greasing has come up, I gotta ask. I just got my 1LE sway bar set w/ the poly/poly combo. A) Do I need to grease them? B) What kind of grease? and C) Was supplied w/ a tiny packet of Energy Suspension Formula 5 Prelube. What the heck is this for? And is this nearly enough for the front and rear job? I know, I know, tons o' questions. Sorry.

          use the grease on the inside of the poly bushings.

            I regreased like 5 times since I've taken off the sway bars many times to do other work. I now use the regular black graphite grease. If memory serves me correctly. Oh yea, I still have to return that to the rightfull owner.

              Sure the grease that came with the bushings, its enough even though it doesn't look it. I also have a can of slilicone greaser (no petroleum so it won't affect bushings)

              Ever check the hatch latch9that rhymes) mine sqeuked, and I put electrical tape on it and no more sqeuks. Also have you checked your spare tier and jack, might even want ot wrap them in rags, when my car was my dads, he had a sqeuk that he tracked to the spare tire.

              On a side note if you need sway bar bushings fornt and rear I have a set of 1les I'll sell ya cheap 32mm/21mm.
