Got upper and lower rear bbk control arms (used) installed yesterday along with Eibach prokit (new) and (new) struts. We did't have a grease gun to grease the bushings and my car is really noisy and the rear feels different. Also had 3 people in car total last night and it seemed like the car was bottoming out really hard? Don't quite understand? Would this be caused by lack of grease? Other than that highway is very smooth and nice ride quality. Here are a few pics of car with springs. Please help.

the position of the spring can make a difference on how it rides. Is the bottom coil facing the doors of the car?

No idea at all.

You should grease those poly bushings. You might also not be used to the stiffer ride that those control arrms will give you. The stock ones leave a softer ride feeling. A good compromise would be using Ford Racing Rear Upper Control Arms. They offer rubber bushings that are about twice as stiff as the stock ones, and they dramatically improve traction, both straight and curves, as well as dramatically help control wheel hop. All of this without ruining a comfortable ride. I'm speaking of experience from having them on my 88GT . I dont know about the lowers though as I did not need them with my cars set-up!!!!!

did you install the snubber with the springs?

Snubber, the little black bump stop thingy in the rear? Yes I installed it.

You need to grease thoses bushings because they will squeek but as far as bottoming out even if those snubbers were in you should not bottom out.....are the shocks good????

You sure ALL the bolt are tight. Bottom shock mounts have a tendency to do that.

Shocks are brand new too. I would hope that the shop tightened all the bolts. I guess I'll start with greasing the bushings and take it from there. Worse case there is a Mustang shop about 30 minutes from me, I'll have to drop it off.
