Question Squeaks

My 02 WS6 has started bad squeaks when I drive slow over a bump like a speed bump. Any ideas on what it is and how to fix it. Is it my shocks?

Wait until the car is 4 years old. It sound like a heard of angry mice on crack.

Squeeks? It may be the rubber bushings in you LCA and/or panhard rod. Does the sound only come from the rear? If so, its most likely bushing noise.

If the squeeks care from the front, there are a few bushings that could be the problem, or a shock may be making noise. (Mine was). Good luck!

The squeaks are typically from metal on rubber.

I would suspect the sway bars.

Is there a good rubber-safe grease, maybe graphite-
or MoS2 loaded, that people recommend for bushings &
sway bar mounts?
