    Help! Still Sqeekings in rear . new shot mounts

    Like it says i had a bad sqeek in the rear of my 89 325ic on every lil dip bump ect. i order new e46 rear shock mounts as mine was shot and i posted up before on here and the replys said that was usually the cause of it. i installed them today and its still doing it.. what else could cause it? its very annoying unless the radio is on.. could the rear sway bar links cause it? or the adjustable trailing arm bushings? differtial mount? im just trying to get the fix for it please reply with any causes you guys have seen or might help?? any info is greatly appreciated

    I haven't seen your other thread where people told you it was the shock mounts, but what kind of bushings do you have in the rear suspension? If it's anything but rubber, it's gonna squeak. Even with lube.

      It's probably the trailing arm bushings.

            Just a thought. This happened to my friend last week. When he installed the RSM he put the bottom dished washer upside down and it squeeked over every bump. The bottom washer is supposed to be dished down and not up towards the RSM.

              my dished washer was on top right under the nut... it looked the same as my bentley manual.. but the dish is up not down as in cupping the mount...

                  Is it a squeak or a clunk?
