Squeak in Suspension

[Guest N/A R33]

I've got a squeak in the rear left suspension tha is annoying me and would like to fix it.

Any of you guys have any ideas what it may be.

I haven't had a look yet but I imagine it's in the bushes somewhere.

Help

Have you got nolathane bushes? Probably needs some silicone grease in there.

Like I said in the last post I haven't had a look at it yet.

Where are these bushes and how do I apply the silicone grease?

Are these bushes standard, should I replace them and where do I get replacements?

1. The bushes are locted where the suspension arms attach to the car. Remove and apply grease to faces of bushes.

2. No

3. No idea. Try Whiteline etc.

ps. take it to a suspension place if you are unsure.

I had an almost identical problem (rattling in the back like someone left a spanner in the boot).

I took it to Pedders Suspension and for $14 they did a 28 point safety check (taking particular attention to the bushes/etc).

They said everything was 100% and the bushes were ok, only suggestion they had for the noise was coz my suspension is all adjustable they thought their may have been abit of movement.

But if there is some sort of grease/paste i can use on it to remove the noise then i might go back their and get them to investigate.

What do i need ?

mine did the same thing too.. rear left... problem was it was leaking oil. After driving on it for another 3000km, i decided to replace it as it was making the car go all over the road.

After I pulled the springs off I could tell why it drove like shit. There was basically no rebound at all.

Looks like it will be an easy fix. Next chance I have I'll pull it down and have a look spread a bit of silicon grease about and hopefully the squeak will be gone.

MY squeak is coming from the back right suspension. The suspension is totally stock and I've been told it is probably due to worn bushes (which I've heard is a common occurance on R33's)... so I'm gonna go get it all replaced....
