    Default Help. Squeaky civic suspension!

    It seams like if I I go over even a pebble my suspension is squeaking. It only does it in the rear and I'm not sure why. Its cheap coilovers on stock shocks and has blox lca's but of course the bushings are garbage. Its been acting like that for a couple months now maybe 2 but has gotten extra squeaky lately. Any idea what it could be or how to stop it. I do plan on changing out the suspension for full coil overs but I'm barley saving up. Any help would be great.

    Spray each part (bushings) with a lube (wd40) till it goes away.. Then will know the source!!!

    P.s
    Easiest way is if you have a buddy bounce the car while you look and spray all the rubber bushings..

    Should I set a mouse trap with some cheese in it?

    nah, peanut butter gets em every time though. Slather a shit load of peanut butter on each of your bushings and see if you can find that damn mouse.
    I think I have one in my car, too
