Default Squeaking sound from lower controls ?

There has been a sound coming from the rear end of my car.. im not exactly sure where it is coming from and why ? it usually comes if I step on it from 10 mph or after a speed bump ... it is coming more from the left side... so do u guys know what might be the problem ?

poly bushings? mine were squeaking like a BITCH!!!!!! so i gerased them, helped a little but not much... i took them off and manually greased them and theyve been alot quieter for now.

i suggest greasing them first, remember to use silicone base grease (i believe?) only anytihng else wears away the poly bushing

If you have spherical ends, it could benormal. Just make sure you are at torque spec. I have poly bushings and the same thing happened to me about a week after installing them. Got back under there and the side that was making noise loosened up some. Put it back to torque spec and no more problems.

129 lbs ft. Either take the bushings out and grease them by hand or at least loosen the bolts and then grease them with a gun. Do not grease them while they are torqued down, you can split the bushings that way.

Can it be done without jacking the car ? like open one bolt side grease it the fix it then open the other and do the same thing .. like once a time to al 4 bolts.

cuz I dont want to take it to a shop... it will cost me more+ it will take around 30 mins just to explain to the indian dude whats wrong...

Yes you can. Hope you can use a drive on lift or at least ramps to get under that car.[&:]
