Suspension help needed...
Recently my suspension has been making creaking noises in the rear of my car when I ride over uneven pavement . It sounds like its coming from the suspension so I searched the forum and found this:
Suspension squeaking
In cold weather you may hear the suspension creak when you go over speed bumps. To fix this, clean (optional) and lubricate the sway bar bushings. The adjustable metal sway bar end links on Hotchkis and T1 bars can also create loud clicking sounds. Most adjustable end links are quiet initially, but wear out and get noisy over time. Greasing and protecting the end links from dirt may prevent wear.
I heard that silicon grease can fix this problem. Does anyone have any pictures that can show me where to apply the grease?
