Squeaky suspension???? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

I drive a 1995 S14. I have Tein Flex Coilovers on, a random ebay rear camber and toe arms, and stock bushings. Everything is great besides the fact that I have a horrible and embarrassing squeak coming from the rear. Basically whenever I go over any bump, any dip, getting out of the car(?), pushing down a little, it squeaks. I sprayed an insane amount of white lithium grease on every joint. It still hasn't stopped. I have tried everything in my limited ability to fix this problem. PLEASE HELP!

I have full rear suspension swapped out except for rear lower arms, and tranny bushings......and mine is squeaky too.

It's funny you posted this, because I was just realizing it yesterday how much squeakier the back is.

Not really sure why it's like that, but I bet you'll find that it's common.

Try lubing up the bushings that hold the sway bar on.

mine squeaked too and i thought it was the coilovers. so i bought new ones and it still was there.
i took off my swaybar bushings and greased them. squeaking went away.
grease the bushings that attach the bar to the chassis

I have no rear sway bar and the rears squeek. It's ironic this comes up, it's been bugging me.

a lot squeeking problems come from inferior spherical bearings on cheap multilink arms
