About a month ago, my car went from quiet to a very loud annoying squeak. It squeaks just from me sitting down in the car. There was a thread I found talking about the rear suspension and bushings being the primary culprit (can't find the thread now). It finally stopped snowing long enough for me to take a look, plus I had to put on my new gorilla lugnuts anyway.

I took pics of the ones that looked bad:

Can I replace just the bushings on these parts? Or, for instance, would I just buy a whole new tierod?

 

Do check if there is any play in the control arm bushings ! If the suspension is firm, you could get away with spraying some WD-40 .

 

The UK forum has a great and very though thread on suspension bushings.

Read the entire thing as people keep adding to it and more parts are becoming available from the aftermarket.


The definitive wishbone bush thread

But lets do the easy things first before buying parts. A very common sqeak point is the sway bar bushings and they are simple to check. Unbolt the sway bar end links. Do the front first as they cause the most problems. Then drive around or bounce the car to check for your noise . Then unbolt the rear sway bar end links and do the same thing.
