Default Another funky noise thread...

Yes another noise thread... I have tried the search and what not.. So yeah...

But any how... Everytime I hit a bump I hear a squeky noise in the back.... I can literally push down on the @$$ end and hear this noise...... Everythings stock except the lakewood trac bars i bought the car with. Could it possibly be my shocks? I know alot of people say the life span on them is low. I have about 60k on the car now. 2002 z28.

Bushings. Rubber gets old and squeaks. Use some silicone lube, replace them or live with it.

If your Lake woods came with poly bushings then you will need a special grease.
