I have a 2003 Nissan 350z base with 50k and my rear passenger side squeaks when I reverse or go over speed bumps. I would like to know if any one has had similiar issues as well.

lose some weight? (not car weight)


seriously, get some spray lubricant and hit up all of the bushings. they tend to dry out now and then so you have to condition them. did mine last weekend and suspension feels a lot smoother now. (04 with 44k miles, OEM suspension)

Nice sounds good! May I ask which lube u used? Don't want to get some bad lube that will mess up the bushings or suspension parts

check your end links

I had this problem before, almost a clunking sound going over bumps/uneven pavement.

you can either get stock replacements, or upgrade to some hefty ones... either one would fix the problem
