Default Rear Suspension Squeeking Noises

im having a rear squeeking noise. sounds like bushings on my swaybars or something. something squeeks my suspension travels in slow speeds. its very noticiable. almost sounds like the spring matress but slightly higher. any thoughts? bushings ? what kind of bushings controlarm, or swaybars? what else can it besides bushings? i was going to get some litium greese and greese up my bushings see if that works. thoughts will be very appriciated.

Im having the same issue too like after 3 months of installing my coilover and preloading my springs it squeaks and really annoying from my rears. My friend was following me from behind in his bike and he has a slip on exhaust, he told me he can still hear's my squeaks... I notice it seems to get more noticeable after carwashes....

I wish I can help StanCe but Im going through the same flight like you.

awww man this is great, my car started making this noise about 3 days ago, and it drove me nuts. it's embarassing driving a lexus that makes noises like that. i thought it was my brake pads, but its probably the same as you guys. thanks, will try this today

Same thing here. I think its fairly common problem with various Tein coilovers.

Clicking could be referred to the axles bad.
