Hello

So I run koni's and autoexe low down with Whiteline RSB (Shaved Corners)

Whenever i drive slow in my indoor parking I hear sqeeking sound when the rear shocks rebound. (Going up) I asked couple of mechanics and they said because of the stiff suspensions the bushings are wearing out or something. Does anybody have this problem and if so where do I buy the stronger bushings?

Thank you

I have bilsteins, RPM and whiteline RSB in the back. I hear a squeeqing noise too, especially at low speeds. I have been doing some reading and I think it's the RSB squeeking in it's bushings. I'm too lazy to go back in there and put some more grease in those bushings. I'm not too worried about it. You might want to try that before taking the Koni's out.

i am gonna have to agree with houston here..... I dont have the RSB, BUT as a long time owner of older (leaf spring type) 4X4's that were lifted, this is a VERY standard thing to happen. IIRC the Whiteline comes with the poly bushings, poly bushing are notorious for squeeking, normally they come with a packet of silicone grease to lube them and it needs to be put not just where the bar passes through the bushing but also on the straps that hold the bushing in. why on the straps you ask ? because the poly does not "give" anywhere near as much as a rubber bushing does, it will tend to move more in the bracket under load and while coming off load(which is when you will tend to hear the squeek)..
