Got the rear of my car lowerd 40mm. Ever since then my car (from the rear) has been squeeking when i go over bumps. Could this be the dampers as they are still the originals? I wouldnt of thought they would get nakared so quick though. Or could it be he didnt tighten somthing up enough or just a simple spray of WD40?

Cheers, Lloyd.

Might be the arb needs tightening, saw a guide on it on here somewhere. Also u checked to see if anythings touching the torsion bar? I had a little bracket i had to bend a few mm to stop it rubbing/squeeking.

If its more a a tinnnNGGGG it'll be the arb :P.

its probably the spring chatter as you dont have shorten dampers.

Thats funny, As there isn't any springs at the rear.

Just sprayed a shit load of WD40 on all the joints at the rear. I'll see if that helps

wait, so you only have the rear lowered? and the noise is from the rear. could be knackered bearing/rear beam. if it was lowered by splines it probably is. The loose arb is more of a clunking sound.
