suspension squeaks over uneven road surfaces/bumps
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.
