i have a squeaking/cricket type noise coming from my rear passenger side coilover. anyone have any ideas? I'm thinking a rubber isolator between the chassis and top of the coilover might solve this? anyone know where i might be able to get two (one for each side?)

Or does anyone know what might be causing this?

nothing?

 

Go try lubing it, be inventive!

 

Are you absolutely positive it's the coilover? Could also be the rear sway bar bushing, particularly if it's a urathane upgrade. I lubed mine w/ CV joint grease.

 

i have the stock sway bar bushings in the rear. and it sounds like its coming from inside the cabin. Thanks for the tip Cewrx7r1. i will try some type of bushing lubrication. i bet that will help.

 

hey sorry to repost on this...but my coilover makes a rubbing sound as i compress it up and down. even when i took the wheel off and pressed up on it it did the same. and when i roll the car back and forth it seems it makes the same noise. so what could this be?

 

there is also a lot of play in the coil when i jack it up. i mean i can move this thing up and down a inch or so...so is this normal

 

sounds blown...
