The creak/squeek definitely is related to the rear suspension parts. I jacked it up (Restrain yourself, Leslie) and moved the wheel up and down and could hear the squeek from that area but could not isolate it. Getting PB blaster into and around the rubber bushings sounds like a chore.

I'd hate to go to that trouble and find that it's something else.

Thanks all.

Good comeback, H2!!

I'm thinkin' NAPA might be the better choice....the drug store limits itself to KY and the like. I got a feelin' that won't cut it for ya!

Oh man!! Can't have no fun around here!!

If the squeak is from the rubber exhaust hangers, then non-petroleum lube is preferred. So I've been told.

Vaseline. It's bad for rubber.

if your hearing a squeak try tightening the nuts on either end of this lower link pin. they should be tight, to remove the pin remove the wheel and then the front nut and slide the pin out the rear.
You should roll the pin on a flat surface to make sure its straight. ( if its not straight then a used one can be purchased) use a generous amount of anti seize to the shaft before you insert it into its hole, pay careful attenton to the the way the big washer spaces between the shock and hub and also how the bevelled washers fit into the hub carrier.( use wheel bearing grease to hold the bevelled washer in place while you insert your rod)
There are some holes under the hub carrier that you should spray some PB blaster into to aid in the shaft being removed as this is where it can corrode and prevent removal.
Lastly while your at Autozone or NAPA to pick up the anti seize also buy yourself a good set of jack stands, that wood block could be 2 seconds away from splintering

Thanks, Mr. Merlin,

You just defined what I'll be doing on Saturday.

BTW, Leslie. I had a friend (really) who grabbed the wrong lube early on in his marriage....Vicks Salve. His biggest mistake, though , was telling his friends about it. No one forgets. I won't use that on my 928. I don't like the smell.

Stan....Stan....Stan....we're supposed to be serious around here, I was told.

Seems like you spend an awful lot of time thinkin' about shafts and holes. Hmmmmmm....

Don't you have anything better to do with your time???























Ok, maybe I had a couple too many tonight too! LOL.



BTW, H2, as others have said, that wood is scary....not to bust your ***** too much more, when everyone else has, but when Kevin didn't have jack stands, a wheel or two stacked under the car is a leeetle bit safer than that block of wood.










Heh heh heh.....I said wood!

Do you have the nylon? liner in the hatch lock reciever? If its missing, its a likely culprit...BTDT

So I had Porsche dealer realign my hatch -- as it was sitting up a bit in the back. I didn't want to take the chance of scratching the paint and I had a $100.00 of coupon. I figured an hour labor, might fix it for close to free....So the hatch is good now and all summer not a squeak or a creak (never made any noise before, ever). Now it's getting cold in NJ and around turns I'm getting squeaks/creaks. So long story short, what does the 2' section of Teflon tape look like? Pictures? Is this Porsche part or self fixed idea?

I had squeaky suspension going on with my first 928, the 79'. People would turn and look at me funny whenever I drove over speed bumps. I lubed all points of the suspension, and even replaced some sway bar parts before finding that it was the old shock absorbers. If you're sure the sound is suspension related, I'd entertain that possibility first, as I've been there and spent alot of time scratching my head. YMMV Good luck with your squeak hunt!

I know i'm late to the party, but y'all are sooooo tame ...

I can't believe nobody thought that the cause of the squeak might be that the shaft H2 is pointing to is too big for that poor rear end.
