weird noise from my rear suspension

kxwhite · April 14th, 2008, 11:23 PM

hey guys any help would be great.

i hear this eek eek eek kinda sound when ever i go over a bump, doesnt matter the size of bump just anything. and it seems to be getting louder and more frequent now. i am booked into my dealership on thursday (needed some warrenty work, a buddy broke one of my vents on the dash) but if it is something i can do i would rather do it.

sway bar perches. They need grease. Dealership should be able to do it for you free of charge.

ahh perfect! thanks!

So i need to dismount the sway bar to regrease the D shape brackets?

Jonrod · July 22nd, 2008, 06:56 PM

Jonrod · July 22nd, 2008, 08:47 PM

um....well....there is this tool called a car jack. basically lets you lift sides of your car in the air allowing easier access to things under your car. so what he is saying is that for most people....this tool is not needed and you can access and re-grease the sway bar with the car flat on the ground. im fat and lowered....so this woudln't for me for

i thought our whole car needs to be on a lift in order to grease it? something that has to do with suspension stress.....
