Hopefully this question has not been answered 100 times before.

My rear suspension is making an annoying sound over uneven surfaces. Almost like a rubber on metal sound. I have checked and greased all bushings and everything seems to be in good condition.
I have Greddy Type-s coilovers with front and rear camber arms. My car is pretty low but no other aftermarket suspension upgrades.
I found an older post that recommended new sway bar end links.
Has anyone else had a similar experience?

 

Can you put the car on a lift, and pull on the front and rear? Problem with a product like WD40 is that it will temporary hide a problem not fix it. Good luck.

 

I had the car up on jack stands and everything seemed tight. the only thing that concerned me the most was the the end links did have a lot movement. is that normal? I never really checked them before the noise.

 

upgrade rear end links

 

My two best guesses would be the:

1. Endlinks

and

2. The rear after market camber arm to aluminum sub frame lug point. usually these after market camber arms are helm rod end fittings and they make squeak/creak noises...

Spray them with some lithium grease - not WD40. WD is not for outside use....

thanks for the advice. the aftermarket lug point is the only thing I did not grease. if this does not work, I guess I'll look into some end links

 

I think it's fixed. Thanks JasonZ-YA for pointing out the camber rod ends.

The 'eyelets' on the spherical rod ends looked to be tweaked way to the side with no room to swivel.With the help of a friend we were able to center up and re-grease the ends. We also took the sway bar bushing out and re-greased them for good measure. Did this last night and took it for a test drive. I didn't hear a sound.

 

yep......been there done that, thats how i knew thats what it was............glad i was able to help..

the car sounded great for a day and the sound came back.
Anyone know how to test for worn out end links?

 

Just disconnect the end links, drive around carefully (not wildly) and see if you notice any squeaks or sounds from the rear.
