Default Squeeking when going over bumps.

I'm not really sure where to post this so I'll do it here since it sounds like it may be in the suspension somewhere. I got a 12 bolt Moser and subframe connectors installed. It drove great for the first 2 weeks and still is. But there was a squeeking sound that was birthed one morning when I drove it out of the driveway. and it is really noticable going over speed bumps and some bumps in the road. Do any of you know what this could be or a way to stop it. It's really getting aggrivating. thanks for any help Justin

I'm willing to bet that it is your LCA's, althugh it could be MANY other things. Does the car squeak when not moving? Have someone push down on the car while you track down where the squeaking is coming from, viola!!!

Mine started squeaking after a SFC install, too. It's coming from the bushings in the front of the LCA's where it sandwiches in between the SFC. Try greasing there and maybe that'll kill it.

after I installed the 12 bolt and the SFCs it drove silent for about a week then that sqeeking started. I mean it was an overnight kinda thing. one day not doing it and then the next it was doin it.Maybe I can find a solution without usin grease. Thanks Justin
