REALLY LOUD squeek coming from the rear???

I had Spohn non-adjustable LCA's installed a week or two ago along with some SFC. Now I have a REALLY LOUD squeeking sound coming from the rear of the car? It's especially noticable while slowly going over speedbumps. And it's noticable on the rear passenger side when going over uneven pavement [not potholes or anything, just uneven]. It sounds like something is rubbing something.

To best describe the squeeks, it's like listening to someone having sex on a really squeeky bed.

Re: REALLY LOUD squeek coming from the rear???

I did LCA's awhile ago and noticed the same thing a bit later. Mine squeek real bad now, atleast I think it's my LCA's squeeking. I lubed the inside but maybe I should have lubed the ends that rub against the mount. Anyhow, I suggest going back in there and re-lubing it...that's what I'm ganna do. Hopefully that will solve the prob. It sounds bad huh, I hate it.

Re: REALLY LOUD squeek coming from the rear???

I have to GW LCAs with the swivel on the axle side and the bushing on the body side. I was getting a loud squeak on the drivers side and felt the front end chattering on bumps. I took a look down there and found out that the body side bolt had come loose. I re-torqued it down pretty good and that stopped the squeak. They dont have zerk fittings so I didn't bother lubing it. It also stopped the chattering from hte front. My guess is that somehow the vibration was traveling through my SFC to the front suspension. Weird, but definently proves that the SFCs really tie the car together.
