Re: Squeeky As Hell

If the bushings have been replaced by Poly ones, they probably need to be dis-assembled and lubed; if they haven't been replaced it might be time.

Also might be a loose car, and in need of a set of subframes.

The rear springs squeak on their bottom perches. Just put some grease where the spring sits on the perch and it will go away.

Most likely lower control arm bushings.

I second the PHB. Take out and relube the bolts up with grease (or replace the bolts from GM if theyre really worn looking, mine were )

Re: Squeeky As Hell

My rear brakes squeaked like hell. I used wd-40 on the calipers. Where the pad touched the caliper and stuff. Keep it away from the contact surface on the pads and the brakes if possible. I really dont have any squeeaks now.
