Hi everyone

The rear of my EM1 squeeks over every little bump on the road and I'm wondering whether anyone else experiences this? I've tried testing it out by bouncing the car from the back and yet I hear nothing,its only while on the road and driving.

I've upgraded my suspension + returnin back to stockies with bigger tyres so I don't think its either.

I'm wondering whether it could be the rear sway? Anyone else exeprience this or what else could it be? please help!

Thanks!

Lube your d links that hold the Sway bar and the bushes, that should fix it.

Silicon Spray if you're lazy...

If you have the time, unbolt the bushes and lube up with RUBBER grease.

do NOT use wd40 as it will eat away your bushes

Best grease I've found to use with the bushes is the Castrol LMM High temperature lithium grease. It doesn't dry out like the white stuff that comes supplied with aftermarket rear sway bars.

Also try tightening all the swaybar mounts, this was the problem on my car when my sway squeeked
