I don't think your creeks are going to go away by tightening lock nuts. I have the same problem with my Mustang ever since I started modifying the suspension. My rear suspension also squeaks at low speeds, particularly when I pull out of my driveway. I have done everything I can think of including adding more after market pieces trying to get rid of the low speed squeaks. After my first set of modifications I added a Steeda UCA andBMR LCA relocation brackets, adjusted, greased and re-tightened everything. But I still have low speed squeaks. I have now chalked it up to NVH. Fortunately I am hooking up well (note I am also running 4.10's) and the car handles great.

If you work out the squeaks let the rest of us know how you did it.


Good Luck!

If the noises are somewhat common or normal, then it really won't bother me that much. I just want to make sure that my suspension is working at it's BEST. I guess we should expect some differences here and there when we make modifications to our cars.

Also, what do you mean by "I have now chalked it up to NVH"?

Thanks man!!

I work at that subway yard on Waters Pl. on weekends. I've seen a white stang in the area a few times.
I recognized the quarter windows, took a guess.

NVH stands for noise, vibration and harshness.It is commonly used to advise purchasers of performance suspension parts that they can expect more noise, vibration and harshness.

I may slowly be accepting these squeaks as NHV, but I am not happy about it and I am still trying to find solutions.

Best Regards

haha...I'm ALWAYS in that area. I usually gun it at thelight over therebecause there is a decent stretch. I'll be sure to beep if I ever see your car (if you drive it there that is). Take care!! [sm=icon_rock.gif]

poly bushings suck, its just the nature of them. they always sqeak and creak after a month or so. the teflon lube works to quiet them, for a little while. if you want real quality, find some micarta bushings that are the same size, or a little big, and just have them cut down on a lathe. or you could always go back to rubber
