Noise from rear passenger suspension
Hi all,
After replacing most of the front suspension on my 96 LS400 the rear is starting to act up. The passenger rear suspension makes a very sharp almost metallic sound over larger bumps. The best way to describe it would be the sound of a very tight bolt which kinda screeches the first turn or so when you bust it loose. I can't duplicate the sound by bouncing the car and I didn't see anything obvious when I took off the wheel. I have replaced the rear carrier bushings and the rear springs/shocks in the past. The first thing I will replace is the sway bar endlinks because they are cheap. Any other suggestions would be appreciated! The car has 156k on it.

I wish someone had some better guesses at this. I'm not real hip on greasing every bushing and the sound is not going away. It's about as knarly a sound as u can imagine. Can the rear-upper ball joint be frozen and causing a noise? I hate to just throw parts at it.....
