Rear Suspension Creaking & Squeaking

[Vectose]

Just called Fulcrum, they quoted me $175 . So Bennoz if you can get them cheaper that would be great. I do also need some other bushes.

If the price difference isn't that great I may just buy the first three locally.

Will definately be getting them through you. How would I go about ordering them?

[Bennoz]

I give my man the go ahead, you flick me some cash, I pick them up (just round the corner from my work) and we go from there

Sounds good mate.

[Bennoz]

Told them to grab 'em, should be 2-3 days they're telling me.

[payaya]

Check out the mackay range, prices are good.

[Bennoz]

3 out of 4 bushes are in I'm told, will flick you a PM & we can do the cash thing

[Vectose]

Replied to your PM.

I replaced the rear sway bar bushes today and the squeak is still there.

If I push down on the rear passenger side of the car I can recreate the squeak.

Did you grease them up?

[Vectose]

Did you grease them up?

Of course.

[Bennoz]

Ok, so now we're into either droplinks, control / trailing arm join bush, dog link bushes or trailing arm leading bush...

Can you get your head in there further while someone else presses on the car? Get a better idea on where its coming from?

Cause some of the above mentioned bushes aint easy to replace..

I just went back under the car and the sound appears to be coming from the short dog bone link, when I held onto it while pushing the car up the sound was gone, but as soon as I let go it started again.

droplinks
Was going to say that'd be your next stop.

[Vectose]

Nah, not the droplinks. If you look at the second photo in the following thread it's the shorter dog bone that is squeaking

Thought they were the droplinks?

Meh.

[Vectose]

So are the bushes on the dog bone replaceable or do I have replace the whole thing?

[Bennoz]

Very much so. Its the same bush as used in the control arm.

[Vectose]

So the squeak disappeared for a while, it is now back and worse and I finally have time for my complete suspension overhaul and just have a few questions.

What is the best way to get all the alignments close to spec after I'm done so I can drive it safely to get a proper alignment?

Would it be wise to replace the rear arm inner bushes as well while I'm in there?

SuperPro's info states to put lube on all parts of a bush that come into contact with metal but I remember fraz was saying this is not the case. Any info on this?

And are there any other tips anyone can give me?
