squeeky rear end - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

I have a 92 CamryLE with 56,000 miles. When driving over bumps or dips in the road, there is a really annoying squeek or grinding noise, that I think might be coming from the shocks? Am I right, or is it something else, and how the hell do I fix whatever it is.

Try WD40 on the rubber bushings for the sway bar and the sway bar links.

lol same here! over speed bumps, in the rear, i hear this sqeek sound like the springs are going up and down or something with the shocks...

Your rear anti-sway bar bushings needs regreasing. Buy some white lithium marine grease (at Canadian Tire or car store) and remove the bushings. Shoot it in half the tube and you should be fine. Either that, or buy the Whiteline bar!

I had the same problem, it just needs some regreasing.Party on.

what if you don't regrease it and just leave it like that, would there be any problems(except for the squeeking sounds)?

I had the same problem,,, it went away after i hear a SNAP sound... No im kidding, i think i had that same squeek, but it went away after a while, i thought it was my rear shocks... but i dont know..

how long does it take to do something like this?

sdsmene · 09-25-2002, 07:13 AM

i have the same thing, believe it or not, its coming from my gas tank. mine sounds like a rusty swing in a park going back and forth mostly when i hit bumps but also when i stop. im gonna get it fixed next week so i will let every one know what it turns out to be

Does your shocks are stock? or you changed it before?

i just changed the struts and springs about 2 months ago, this noise was there before that but not as loud as it is now

***EKam*** · 09-25-2002, 11:29 AM

IMO most likely it's the rubber bushings that are worn out and I don't think regreasing is going to help. :-?

right now i have a similar problem with my 94 Camry. At first the dealship said is the struts...so i took the car to a shop and had them replaced.... nope.. didn't get rid of the rattling noise... now i'm suspecting is the struct plate that's causing the noise
