suspension sqeak, HELP! do your KMAC's squeak in cold weather?
i have this annoying hi pitched squeak in my rear suspension somewhere when it's cold and i go over large bumps. i don't know where it could be besides the kmacs.
the V3's have regular rubber bushing. i've tq'd every thing down to factory spec with the suspension loaded as if it were at ride height.
the sway bar has been lubed withing the last month, i put grease ports on it long ago to do this job frequently.
the perches are covered in grease, they had a clunk... i eliminated that.
the only thing left is the poly KMAC's but i've never heard of anyone complaining about those before.
GRRRR
it's driving me nuts. i drove around today with my head out of the window, it's definetely coming from the rear.
