rear swaybar squeak August 31, 2008, 10:12:59 AM I've had rear squeak for years, and finally isolated it to the rear swaybar itself. The noise got worse when I switched to a Cobra bar, got better when I boxed the rear control arms and before that...anytime it rained a lot. The noise is almost gone after reinstalling the bar with the boxed arms, but its still there...and I'm expecting it will get worse after a few thousand miles. Any advice? Quote Selected

Odds are that's your problem. Since you mentioned it, I'm wondering if adding a hunk of rubber between the bar and the control arm would fix my problem. :hick: Quote Selected
rear swaybar squeak Reply #3 – September 01, 2008, 05:16:19 PM I know its the D bushings on the frame because it only does it when both sides of the sway bar move, but I cant check it while its sitting there because the front is so stiff, I cant get it to move, lol. I think all it needs is a little silicone or something worked in there, but I will probably be upgrading the sway bars soon for autox Quote Selected
rear swaybar squeak Reply #4 – September 01, 2008, 05:39:28 PM Frickin sweet pictures!I have the stock TC/XR-7 front bar with a 1994 Cobra rear bar (solid 1", comes from Maximum Motorsports) and I like how flat it corners. It might oversteer too much for the track (don't know until I try) because the front bar is probably metal fatigued, but this is a great combo overall. I'll either get a NEW stock bar, or tinker with air pressures when I hit the next autox. Quote Selected
