LSX Performance

When going over bumps the rear suspensions creaks. Its sounds as if the car is 50 years old. i have a 02 Formula with all stock suspension. I tried spraying silicon on the rear control arm bushings, however when it wears off the noise comes back. Any ideas on a permanent solution?

How many miles are on the car? Could be time to start replacing bushings

I had the same thing. It was the LCAs. I actually made a similar posting to yours. Try greasing only the LCAs and see if it makes a difference. If it goes away... replace them.

Did you buy new stock ones or aftermarket?

I have the same problem, you do right now. But mine didnt start until I replaced my LCA's? So I'm in the same boat that you are

you should be able to find some aftermarket non adjustables cheap.

Check sway bar bushings too, even more common culprit.

If you don't want to spend that type of money I would look into some poly bushings.
If you have any other questions feel free to ask and I will be glad to help!
Thanks

Sway bar bushings want the grease.

what weird was that i put moog bushings in mine with greese, and that cause creaking then when i installed my poly/rod lcas the creaking went away.

Thanks for the help. guys. Anyone have a link for a write up on removing the rear swaybar?

I think i'll try that first. If that doesnt do the trick i'll replace my LCA's
