Default Squeaking noise rear side

Like the title says, i have a squeaking noise when driving on a bump and it Comes from the rear side of the car!

I´ve looked under the car and found it comes from the parking brake cable, where it splits from one to two and touches the sway bar, here are some pics:







It´s definite that place where the squeaking comes from, i put some tape on the sway bar and since then, it´s gone!

Now, what does you folks use on that place to get rid of that squeaking noise?

I think tape will only hold a few time and then it´s frazzled thru, any suggestions what to use on that place?

Best regards,
Ronald

Slice and zip tie a piece of rubber hose.

Interesting. I've had that squeak for a long time. I'll see what I can do while I'm replacing subframe bushings this week.

Ok, but I'm wondering, there would be only a few guys here with this noise, all others haven't, can't believe that?!

My solution might be a small plastic ring with a cut out sector to clip it on the sway bar and fix it on it's right place with glue or silicon!

I'll be back here, when my Prototyp is still mounted on the car, stay tuned!

Best regards,
Ronald

This looks to be a lowered car problem to me...
