Rear suspension squeak
I just got my 2000 WS6 and over bumps or anything that would make the suspension move, I hear a squeaking coming from the passenger rear. Any ideas? I will be able to get it up in the air thursday to look at it. I am assuming it's just a bushing or something like that. Thanks

ususally rear lower control arm bushings have seperated. You can't see it though until you pull out the rubber. spray them good with silicon. if the noise goes away for a while then replace all four lca bushings.

Thanks- I shot all suspension parts with some lithium grease, but to no avail. I am beginning to think it might be my exhaust hangers- can those cause a squeaking?

Well, yesterday I sprayed everything, including the exhaust hangers 3 times, waiting 2 hours in between each. Took it for a drive today and it sounds the EXACT SAME
any ideas? My camaro never had any squeaks or problems with the suspension.
