Prodigy 4 link/ speedtech suspension squeak!! - Lateral-g Forums

I have the Prodigy/Airbar 4 link in my car as well as Speedtech UCA/LCA's, and Hotchkis front sway. I have the most annoying suspension squeak that I cannot find. Every grease point in the front end is done, all eurethane bushings are greased and it still persists. Is it possible a Heim Joint is making noise in the rear end? It's making the driving of the car annoying but I can't seem to find the source. Any ideas?

I cannot tell you where it is but I can tell you it is highly unlikely it is a rod end on the Prodigy Bar unless one end is loose and moving in the cradle.

It's the end links. Take some silicone spray and lube up all 6 end links and it will fix it.

I double checked everything when I had the car up on the weekend re-greasing all the urethane contact points. Anywhere I have urethane bushings I pulled them out and greased. Didn't make any difference.

My tailpipes were rubbing in the rear and it sounded like bushings squeaking. Might check for that.

You aren't listening, it's the rod ends on your upper and lower control arms in the rear. I'd bet on an upper at the rear end housing. Spray them and work them back and forth.

Sorry Vegas, I thought you were busting Franks balls about something personal with your comment.

I will try the spray tomorrow. Thanks!

No problem dude...

He bust my balls constantly like a brother.

If that fixes it on yours I would like to know. Those are Kevlar impregnated and should not squeak.

Let me know

Thanks Frank. I don't know what else it could be but the joints. With both windows down, I cant really tell where its coming from. Its only under mild movements of the suspension. They are pretty much the only moving parts. I don't think it could be the Bilsteins in the front or the QA-1's in the back. I would say I don't even have 500 miles on the whole set up yet. I have grease coming out of the sway bar and front UCA and LCA's so they are full right up too.
