I miss spoke a few posts ago. I was trying to solve
your sqeak the same way that I solved mine. You see my
car has been body lifted about 4" and has these weird
spacers that have a really tough shore hardness, they
feel more like dence nylon then rubber or urathane.
They used to sqeak like mad till I sprayed them with
lithium grease. I know that it may not be the best
idea to use grease on a ruber part,however if the
spacer is urathane it work better, also the little
rubber donuts the front clip rides on are just infront
of the axle beams. I mistakingly told you above the
shock towers.( I was thinking about the back,caus my
car made that noise in all 4 of those spots and gease
shut it right up. Sorry bout the confusion.
