Squeaky rear suspension

does anybody ever have a squeky sound on their suspension
when going over bumps or change in gradient at low speed??

I have it on my rear suspension. I heard from many people that
when cars in general are lowered, they would produce a lot of
sound. so is this normal??

FYI, I'm running Koni with MS springs..
It's an awesome mix btw.. just the right height.. although it
is a bit stiff.

Any response appreciated from those of you more experienced

Thanks

I had the same problem. My squeeks came from the rear right side. Theres a thread about this already where someone mentioned some rubber sleeves that go on the ends of the springs for Mazda 6's. They had a TSB regarding this. I bought the sleeves from the dealer and installed them and havent had any sounds since.

Hope that helps.

i had a really bad squeaking situation up in the front left of my car and it was due to no grease being in that bushing on my sway bar. Take off the bushing and put some synthetic grease on first before spending alot of money on a repair

More than likely sway bar bushings......rears are easy...takes about 5 minutes to grease them

thanks
sleeves. they are just rubber insert thingies that cover the spring ends. i think total they were like........ $17. As for installation, I did it myself. you will have to take apart the whole rear assembly to put these on.

Taking off the whole thing will definitely not be in my plan..

But these squeaky sounds are not dangerous though right??

I mean, I can live with it.. I dun think i wanna spend any more
money on the suspension.. unless it's just to grease some part..

Thanks for the response btw ppl.. I'm gonna look for that
thread you talked about (HERO)
