Squeaking noise from rear

I have a 2004 toyota camry and I have eibach springs and a TRD rear sway bar (set up on the roughest setting) since may of 2006. I live in a pretty cold climate and since the cold has arrived I have a squeaking noise from the rear of the car. You can hear the noise with the smallest bump and even giving a quick jerk of the wheel. I've sprayed W-D40 and white grease on the springs/bushings and around the bushing of my sway bar. Did not help the situation. Does any have the same problem? Any ideas?

^ I have the same issue, usually you may want to try to regrease the bar itself, but if it's really cold (below 50's) it'll squeak regardless it looks like. I ignore it just because when it gets warm it doesn't do it anymore, and only happens in the extreme cold.

You will need to lube the bushing by taking it off the sway bar. That's usually where the noise comes from.

I've had great luck using synthetic grease on similar setups.

I had them do that to my 07 earlier this year. That was the trick too. No more squeaks...

You're more than welcome. I hope that helps you out.

If not, at least know that I was touching myself with a smile on my face as I typed my reply.
