Noise in rear end /after market suspension

[drifty240]

Installed all the following about three to four weeks ago.

Peak Performance Suspension Arm Package include:

Front Tension rods
Rear Traction Links
Rear Toe Links
Rear Upper Control Arms



and now i have a squeak in rear end under compression did not do this when first installed. Have done some spirited driving Thur my local park and did not have a noise until my car sat for about a week.

Could it be the heat/humidity ?

DO i need to lubricate the joints?

Everything is tight checked it today.

Any ideas?

Spray the crap outta the poly bushings with some silicone lube, drive it and see if it helps, sometimes the full poly bushings make for a loud ride.

^agreed
that should fix it right up
although i just checked and it says that the joints are "self lubricated"
i say spray anyway, couldnt hurt right?
what else is back there? coilovers, sub frame collars?
aluminum sub frame collars squeek a lot

i agree with the rest of them lube the hell out of them and see what happens

I have had good results with white lithium grease, its light but gets the job done and tightening everything up was a good idea. If I can't get my hands on "peanut butter" looks just like it, grease then I use the white.

My personal vote for subframe collars are EBAY "tanaka" subframe collars
They are not aluminum and wont make squeeking noises
They only thing i didnt like were that the top ones dont have an opening (without an opening you would have to drop the whole subframe, which is a pain in the balls to get back up) I fixed that with a vice and hack saw tho lol
I think they were $40 shipped so you cant really go wrong
I've had them on two of my 240s so far.

For bushings without zerks, i'm a big fan of the lubes that let the carrier fluid evaporate, and deposit a thin layer of silicone, graphite, moly or whatever. That way, grease, and dirt aren't attracted to it, and potentilly crap up the bushings.
