well im getting a sqeak sqeak from the back left. Ive noticed it for awhile but not when driving, its gotten louder in the past week i can hear it when driving. Sounds like a bushing but i had my bushings checked few months ago and they were all solid as [censored] no give or cracks or rips. Checked them all even the sway bar ones. Absolute no give in them. No cracks or tares that i see.
It sqeaks all the time, and gets more noticable when going over bumps and get it when turning too. Hitting the brakes has no effect on the sound, doesnt make it worse. Speed has no effect either, the sound is mainly dependant on the road bumps.
If I push down on the back two tires i get a sqeak each time. But the car bounces up down, back up again and stays. I was thinking maybe a leaking or blown strut but theres no bounce. These struts are KYBGR2s and only 6 months old.
Just to be sure im check my bushings correctly, how do YOU inspect it? Should i take it to a place where i can rent a hoise for 30mins?
Only thing i can think of is that a year ago i had silicon lube sprayed on the main bushings. Not sure if that would affect it. But was told that bushings are suppose to be and stay dry all the time, is that true? So lubing your bushings is bad for them?
Im just scared, i dont want a bushing to come out or something cause it sounds like rubber (hear no metal contacting) sqeaking.
Another thing is, i still have a strong feeling its the actual springs in the rear struts that go with the strut assembly. Why? Theyre still stock, never replaced them when doing the struts. And the fact the car makes this sqeak every time when pushing down on the back corners of the car is a big sign i think.
the sqeak isnt consistent and doesnt getting louder with speed. The more bumps it hits, the more noise.
