Tried to research this couldn't find anything. Basically when I go over dips or some bumps I hear a weird creaking/squeaking noise in the rear of my car. It's on the passenger side and I have KWV3's installed as well as Hotchis sways F/R. I haven't greased the sways since probably May-ish... do I need to get them regreased? It sounds more like the coils, but I literally just re-adjusted them, so I'm almost 99% sure they're installed correctly.

Any advice?

when you installed (or had them installed) the kw's did you use the OEM dust cover that is attached to the top hat or did you cut it off? When I installed mine I reused the OEM cover and they squeaked. So i pulled them out greased where the cover touches the coil anywhere and I have been squeak free since.

If you are able to put the car on a lift, you can get underneath and possibly locate the squeak by pulling down on the rear and seeing where the squeak is coming from. I'm guessing sway bar bushings.

I'm not using the OEM cover nor would I know how I would fit that part in while installing.

What are you referring to when you say "cover" because that's confusing me. You sprayed what cover???


I had the car on the lift awhile back but neglected to check. You think I need to re-grease the sway bars? Or that there is something wrong with them

Check it. Always start with something simple and cheap and rule that out first. Check busing lubrication and connection of the links to the car and the bar.

Alright thanks. I'll be sure to check that out when I get the time.

Does it sound anything like that? If so, grease your swaybars and you'll be fine. I'd recommend using Marine Grease if the undercarriage of your car sees a fair amount of water. It'll last longer. Hope that helps.

Yes! Thank you. I'm pretty sure this is what it sounds like, but it's hard to hear the squeaking in your video but it almost sounds as if it's the suspension like you said in your video.
