rear suspension squeels like a dying pig

First i thought i was all the poly bushings .. had them all greased .. it still squeels really bad

can shocks squeel like that ? I got Koni DAs, could it be the springs sitting in their perch ?
every time i hit a little bump they squeek and squeel .. not sure if its a convertible curse, or if its something to do with my suspension

hard to say what it is even...

You could put rod end for everything to make sure its not that.


I think its the springs though, how do you fix this.... I'm not sure, I have seen people putting a peice of garden hose over the bottom of it.

yeah I've been thinking about doing that to raise the back end a touch .. but not sure how thats gonna help the squeels

edit: oh you said the bottom thats a good idea

maybe since i got a moser rear end, the bottom perch isnt perfect and the spring moves around or something

get a short piece of garden hose and use it as a stethascope while someone is pushing down on the back end, to find where the squeek is coming from. I recently did this and found that it was my rear sway bar's main bushing causing a squeek. I just dropped the sway bar, greased up the bushing, and bolted it back into place .... no more squeek
