2000 T/A Ws.6 Squeeking bad!!!

[jpn8801]

Hello all, I have a 2000 T/A WS.6 & everytime i go over speed bumbs (little or small) back out of a driveway It squeeks in the rear REALLY bad!!! WHat is it? How can I fix it?

Check your shocks and springs.

Lower control arm bushings???

Definitely bushings.

Bushing! Get it lubed. I had a god awful metal-on-metal sounding screech from my rear that was actually a dried out bushing.

I was thinking, not sure how many people have had this problem but I had a real bad squeaking coming from the back of my car and it turned out to be the tail lights. The plastic wing nuts were loose and the rubber washers on the back of the tail lamp were squeaking.


Just thought I'd throw that in as a possibility

mine has the same problem with squeaking

the bushings need to be replaced. Lube wont cure it.

Go visit one of our sponsors and buy some nice pretty new ones!

[LS1buckey]

How does every one know for sure it's the bushings? That's not the only thing that can squeek.

[RandomOmen]

True, but such is the perils of online troubleshooting :)

[LS1buckey]

True true, good point.

i just spray some white lithium grease that comes in a can around the control arm bushings and pan hard bushings. It'll last for a month or two before you have to do it again
