Squeaky rear

[Grundletaint]

I have a really annoying squeaking sound coming from the rear wheels whenever I hit bumps or rough spots. Any ideas of cause/remedies.

Thanks!

Lower controls arms possibly. Try a little lube and see if it goes away.

I have this too. Replaced everything and it's still there. Could be the upper shock bushings. People with the ARB OME shocks report lots of squeaking. Try greasing them up with anti seize or whatever that grease that comes with Poly bushings is.

On mine it's the parking brake linkage. Try driving over a bump with the parking brake partially engaged. If it's quiet then that's it...

My rear end was squeaky when I had the Bilsteins. It sounded like cats screaming under my truck constantly. Tighten the upper shock bolt, or hit it with some lithium spray. You can get to the bushings through the wheel well with a can and a straw
