Make it stop (squeaking)

[dhalsey]

A couple weeks ago I went on a Mojave Rd trip. The water crossing were fun but now my rig squeaks with any movement of the rear suspension. I figured that some of the guys back east would have more experience with this. What is it? The rear links? The shock mounts? The rear sway bar bushings? I'm just wondering on where I should start. it is driving me nuts.

I get squealing in my front lower bushings sometimes. You can try greasing the bushings and see if that takes care of it.

I have to keep my sway bar bushings greased , otherwise they squeak. Not sure why this isn't more common ?

I'll check. I had just put my rear sway bar back on before the trip and greased it up before going together. I can't imagine that it would have been washed away. It would be nice if the lower links came with zerk fitting to were easy to grease.
