Rear end squeak

Post by GT Guy »

Very pronounced squeak when you rock the rear bumper up and down. Also heard less dramatically when entering or exiting vehicle. Seems to be coming from passenger side. Help

Do you have aftermarket springs? If not, I know that my front struts on my old grand-am squeaked and bounced, and I ended up needing new ones.

Try tightening the sway bar. I forget the torque but it's high 150 ft/lbs or something.
