In the foto, I'm pointing to one of the arm bushings that I SUSPECT is creaking/sqeeking. Can these bushings be lubed to stop squeeking? If so, with what? Is there a special technique? Is this a common area for squeeks? Or might it more likely be the shock?

Thanks,

H2

You have to lube your shaft. <*snicker snort snort*>

Kevin likes to use never seize.


If you can get it out, of course.

The nut your pointing to is the lower mount for the rear shock. IIRC there are no rubber bushings in there (the lower shock has a rubber insert) but I doubt it's squeeking, the upper mount is rubber mounted. The sway bar links are mounted in rubber bushings and could squeek. The rear hatch has two plastic guides on the sides that should mate with a 2" section of teflon tape (to avoid squeeks). The tape is often missing and will cause a squeek everytime you go over a bump.

Let us know what you find.

Thought you would like to read this, worked on an 85 Euro same creaking noise! Although I do like the lubing the shaft suggestion

lol....well, you know...this place gets so serious sometimes. All you guys with all your guy talk and car talk...blah blah blah...it all gets so boring to us girls sometimes.

I figured, maybe I could help a little, because it was serious advice, ya know...just offered a bit light heartedly, sort of jazz things up a bit and bring some humor to it.

Ya know what I mean?

I'd get some jack stands before I get a tub of lube, but that is just me.

Right time, right place.

Gotta strike when you see your opportunity!

I'm getting rusty at this.

BTW, I had a rear end sqeak on both ends and I hit it with PB blaster, then wiped it off and followed it up with the 3-IN-1 lubricant. It happened after leveling the suspension prior to the alignment.

Leslie,

Do I buy never seize at the drug store or NAPA?
