creaking sounds from the back

It like a spring is getting pulled to its max when ever my friends and I exit my car. The car is a 2005, and only 21k miles. I'm not so sure if this is a sway bar issue, becasue would the sway bar make a cracking sound if it was not lubed up time?

I did remember when i first installed it I didnot tighten it fully and it caused some sounds, but now its just crazy every bumb and leaving the car some weird cracking sound from the rear.

I'm going to bring it to the dealer, but I wanted to ask if anyone had this problem.

Its really weird cuz everyone gets out maybe only one girl it sounds like the car lost 800 lbs of weight. That kind of creaking sound.

I have the same problem with my sway bar, it was fine when first installed but now it makes noise over just about every bump.

Did you apply lube during the swaybar installation?

Suspension noise

Even though you lubed the bushings during install, they may need to be lubed again. Poly bushings (I think that is what Neuspeed uses) need to be re-lubed every so often, or they will squeak. I can't recommend a lube, check with Neuspeed or one of the forum sponsers.
I recently had a clunk/squeak at low speeds especially over speed bumps and entering driveways. Turns out the right rear sway bar end link was loose, an easy fix.

Good luck,

Mike

Any ideas where I would find it? Now when we lube the bushings are we lubing almost every thing? When I first installed it was sort of unclear what parts to lube but the inside of the bushing.

Just about any auto store. I got a mini grease gun from Sears and it came with Lithium grease.

Problem was the swaybar, brought it to the mechanic, and he said it was inside the bushing was not lubed enough. He used super lube. I forgot what is in it he said but the sqeaks are all gone.
