calling all people who have had a squeaky rear end :P

[jeffchiz]

basically my car squeaks when going slow over bumps etc, i thought it was my front bushes/shocks so i polybushed the front end, fitted apex dampers and its still doing it, then i thought it might be the top mounts as for a while i was running 60mm springs on oem suspension.

But the last couple days my car has been stripped as im moving house and needed the space and with out the rear seats, it sounds like its coming from the back, and now im sure its coming from the rear beam, does this mean i need new bushes? or a new beam? i cant see any camber on my wheels so im sure my rear beam is fine, anyone else had a squeaky rear beam and sorted it?

could it even be the rear dampers?? any advise will be appreciated

cheers

My squeaking is the barrings in the exhaust

i dont have a vtr back box so it cant be that but thanks for clearing that up, like i say its a squeaking noise not a vibrating noise

i know mate i hate it i feel like a right twat when people are about and im driving past lol. sounds like we have a similar problem, just hope i get mine sorted tomorow. really hope it just needs greasing up somewhere. mines wierd though because im sure it did it a few months back then stoped now its started again but just getting worse.
when it first started doing it the noise would stop after about 5 minutes of driving but it just carries on now.
but il let you know tomorow hopefully mate :y:

mine happens all the time lol at higher speed it seams fine just driving slower through town and the roads near me are all bumpy so sounds so s**t lol really wanna get it sorted

[LSOfreak]

sounds just like my problem i had mate. only heard it with the windows down though but then again im not sure if your stripped or not as ive still got full interior. what i did was, stand out side the quarter window and rock the car with your hands on the roof, see if it squeaks. or if you get the rear wheel off, wiggle the trailing arm up and down to simulate going over bumps and hear out for the same squeak.

apparantley it usually sounds like 2 bottles hitting each other lol mine sounded just like a mouse squeak though

[adamm]

^^^ so what was the problem mate? the end plate thing?
havent managed to get hold of the bloke who was meant to be looking at it :@

[adamm]

got it looked at now bloke said he thinks rear arm bearings are on the way he said lube and grease it up and see how it goes

[LSOfreak]

yeah i removed the end plate, and then put a bolt and socket into the antiroll bar and tightened it, so it tightened the other side i think. then just did the end plate up tight with some sort of thread lock, but not too tight as i snapped one in there and had to tap it out :(

[jeffchiz]

cheers for the advise lads, at least ive got some things for the garage to have a ganders at lol

how much did he charge for the initial checking and lubing the bearings? has it sorted it at all?

[nicole_]

my rear end squeaks my bootlid lol SO annoying

[adamm]

hes my gf dads mate and hes a good bloke so he didnt charge me i had to go round his house saturday and he had a look he said hes pretty sure the rear arm bearings are on the way out.
he didnt lube it up himself but he showed me the gap to spray the lube into and its helped so far i just jacked it up got under the back and sprayed it on all the mechanisms just to make sure. im going to let it work in for a few days and put abit more on. hopefully it shuts it up for now.
i still dont understand why after about 5 10 mins of driving it stops though :wacko:
and also im not convinced he was right as he only had a listen under the car while i bonced it and because i had driven to his house it was no way near as loud.
i just though that if the rear arm bearings are going it shows camber? go no cmaber and the wheels feel solid.
have you had yours looked at yet bud?

nah i haven't had mine looked at yet im just putting up with it, get paid in just over a week so i'll give it to the garage then :y:

[Lyum]

I have a similar squeek, however I only seem to notice mine when i accelerate and the rear end dips slightly, and then again when i come off the accelarator. Dunno if its the samething but i got my MOT next wednesday so should find out if its the shocks or anything like that.

If you get it sorted please post here with solutions, as it is the most annoying and embarrasing thing ever :) tar :y:

[adamm]

lol yeah mines not quite like that lyum but could be similar problems. and yeah if anyone has had this problem and sorted it please let us know what the problem was thanks

[adamm]

just to let you know after using some 3in1 high performance lubricant on the joins of the rear arm the squeek has completly gone now
