Default suspension question...

when i go up steep driveways and that sort of thing my rear, mainly the passenger side, makes a sound like when an old door needs to be wd40'd...while im driving everything is fine even on big bumps and speed bumps...any suggestions?

Just the chassis flexing or something binding. No worries.

Depends on what it is, if its chassis flex then yes SFC would help. If its binding then you would need to either replace or grease the bushings that are causing the problem.

Thats why I took the SFC comment off, find out whats making the noise first then fix.

Try spraying some synthetic lube around the rear lower shock bushings, then the upper shock bushings and see if the does the trick!
