Squeaking suspension

a_kraker99 · December 15th, 2008, 03:31 PM

What is the most common cause of a squeaky suspension on an 03 Mustang? I am not 100% sure but I think it is coming from the rear end. It does it on even minor bumps in the road.
Do I have any grease fittings on my car or is it probably something that just needs to be sprayed with some grease? If so can someone post a picture of where I need to spray? My knowledge of suspensions so far is very limited so take it easy on me.

Also, the temps here got down to about 15 degrees today and I had a different squeak that happened during every tire rotation until it got warmed up.

You don't know suspension?!?!?....Get 'em, boys. !!!!!

Sounds like may be bushings or rubber parts around rear end connections in need of lube or failing. Easiest thing to do would be to bring to a good local tire shoppe and have them lift it up and check it out. They can hook you up wit da grease gun and prolly fixer up good, pardner.

Could be some other stuff, but they can figure it out quick

Play nice Jazzer; not all of us sleep with suspension parts

. I'm going to 2nd Jazzer here with the shop. Throw her up on a lift and see what's crackin'... I'm leaning towards a bushing needing to possibly be replaced

How many miles are one it, when does it squeak, do you know for sure its from your rear?

a_kraker99 · December 16th, 2008, 07:32 AM

105,000 miles. I dont know for sure it is the rear but it seems to squeak when the rear is going over the bumps.

Lefty · December 16th, 2008, 08:25 AM

I'd start with bushings and have them checked out...

a_kraker99 · December 16th, 2008, 08:27 AM

Whats a normal price for a place like belle tire to charge for lubing everything up?

Lefty · December 16th, 2008, 08:53 AM

Shouldn't take more than an hour...so shop rate an hour x 1hr.

Mine squeeks also. It's coming from the back right area. I only have 48,5xx miles. I need to jack it up and take a look. Would be interesting to know what the OP found w/ theres.

It would be nice to have an idea of what he did before I start on mine as I also am not well educated w/ suspensions. But I learn from taking things apart so I should be semi-educated after this.

Does some one need to learn how to search? Or is zippy trying to be cute?

Mine does the same thing too but only when i turn quickly and the car somewhat leans to one side. im not all that sure about suspensions either but i would have them check the bushings or something rubber back there. i know that when i turn my steering wheel there is a small rubber part on it that squeaks and sounds like its popping kinda also and i cant fix with grease =(. so if it is a rubber part then you may have to completely replace it.
