I have a 97 sc400 with 90k. It sounds like my rear suspension squeaks real bad when I drive over bumps and rough roads when im going slow. Ive been told its the control arms or bushings. Has anyone had this problem before? If so how did you fix it? And If you needed to buy parts where did you buy them? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Also do you think if I would just grease or lube up the bushings it would stop this squeaking?

Absolutely not. Check out the other sections on here. You will need to buy upper and lower control arm bushings from Daizan. I would also recommend doing the front ones also. Check your sway bar links front and rear, and your steering rack bushings also.

You will have to burn out the upper and lower control bushings. Very time consuming, but well worth the ride difference. JMO

I also want to add that it may be your strut itself. If they have never been changed out either, NOW is the time to do it, if the funds allow. Try coilovers, Tokico Blues or something similiar.

So I need to purchase the rear control arm bushing set from daizan? Does anyone know much this will cost? Because I dont see a price on the website. Also how Do I order these bushings from daizan do I have to call them?

My rear end used to squeak it was only the sway bar bushings. You should definately replace those and check the condition of the others.

are the sway bar bushings hard to replace? or should i bring it to a mechanic to install them?

It shouldn't be too difficult, probably just a bit time consuming. I haven't done it either but from what I've read, its a fairly easy job yet time consuming job.
