Rear swaybar squeaking?
Hey y'all, did a search to come up with suggestion on how to fix my rear sway bar squeaking (teflon tape the bushing, remove and re-lube, etc. etc.)
My question is however, what kind of squeak would you all describe it as? The squeak I'm getting is somewhat of a deeper "moany" (lack of better word) squeak rather than a high pitched (almost metallic) squeak...
I just want to make sure it's my sway bar.
I'm pretty sure it is cause it's the only new thing I've installed (3 weeks now).

Mine is more like a "creak" like from a door that needs some oil.
But when I go over dips at a slant or up steep drive ways I also get a "Clunk". I don't know if it's the sway bars are from the camber links

you can push-pull the bar around the bushing to see if it's the bushings,
or push-pull right at the bar's end to feel-hear if it's the link

I had teh "clunk" after mine was lowered. I put the whole rear end up on jack stands, looked, and felt around and found that my sway bar wasn't actually tight. Once I tightened all the bolts under there, it has been silent ever since.

i too have this "clunk" sound from my rear right. I'm gonna look at it this weekend, and hopefully it was from the sways and not the tiens. I hate taking that stupid back seats out

well i checked my sways, and they looked okay. So it must be the teins, and i'm to lazy to take the seats out again. But as of now, it had gone away since its summer and hot as balls in socal.
