I've had the chance to take my car out a few times this week and man it pulls gooooood :thumbsup:

Before I had all the suspension stuff, I would get a little grrrr-squeak sound from the rear when I go through dips and the rear is compressing.
Has anyone had this issue and figured out what it is.

I don't think it's anything on the new suspension because it was there before, but now it is louder.
any ideas?

I'm thinking shock tower/ coil over mounting point, but I'm not sure.

mine does that and i know exactly what MINE is... i know your cars are pretty hard-core-customized so it may be different. lol

but mine are the shock mounting bushings in the trunk... i need to tighten the nut on the top of my shock to compress the bushing more. this will prevent mine from squeaking as much. thats exactly what mine is... i used generic bushings, so i have to let them settle properly too.

I'll have to check that.
Can't remember what bushing is on top of those coil overs.

thanks for the feedback Chris.

Mine squeeks too...I'm getting under it this week if it will stop raining for a while! I'm thinking LCA and shock mounts...It sounds like the back seat back frame but its not.

mine mainly does it when you go through a dip turning, where one side of the rear is compressing.
Is it the same for you guys?

Mine's a vibration related noise, doesn't seem to be bump related.

I know that doesn't make sense, maybe that's why I can't find it!
