Hey Everyone,
Car is a 2008 TX manual with 114kmi on the clock. I've had it for a few years and about 50k miles. It's been a great car, with the only real drama being getting the fuel pump replaced by my local excellent indy who semi-fabricated something that works great.
Here's the current dilemma: Over about a year or so, a slight squeak has started mostly or all in the rear suspension that initially only happened on cold days but has progressed to ALL THE TIME now. It seems to be only small amplitude and/or high velocity little movements of the suspension mechs that makes it squeak, and larger amplitude bumps are handled just fine. But the squeaking. Ahhhh, its constant. I can kind of even hear it in my sleep. When Im not driving.
Thoughts? I'd like to not replace all of the suspension bits only to find out it's something simple or obvious.
I have loosened and re-torqued the spots where the shocks attach to the body of the car, but no dice. I've also sprayed a little silicone juice on the rear swaybar bushings to see if that would help at all. Nope.
Any thoughts, discussion, or ideas welcome. Hope your day is great today!!
Patrick
