I noticed this more after I put on the RSB (put it on in february or March), but i swear I started hearing it when I lowered my car (2-3 months prior to the rsb). I don't know if it's
1. my exhaust hanger
2. my right rear part of my sway bar *end link attached to the rsb*
or
3. some part of my suspension setup??


***Damon, when you had the tein/tokico's did you hear any noise when you drove over bumps or small holes in the road?


The noise sounds like a light sqeak or something loose tapping against the car and I only hear it from the passenger side in the rear. You can hear it from the inside of the car when no music is on and windows are down, and you can hear it more outside the car. it isn't super loud but it's enough for me to hear it and for other people close to the car if I'm driving by.

Is this the RSB squeak everyone complains about .. or?? cuz I only hear it from one side in the rear...

My friend s15lara says its my exhaust hanger stuff, but I kind of doubt it.. the noise is pissing me off after a little while of hearing it.

and if you guys know what the sound is, how do I get rid of it and etc?

Thanks.

Light squeakin' noise = to the the poly bushin' rubbin' on the RSB, you need to put on some Lithium Grease.

I have probably the exact the same problem.
it happens mostly when i drive over not very smooth street.

I kinda got used to it, but still annoy me every once in a while..
thinking about taking the rear dash and see if i can see where the sound come from..

i have tein co.
mine is Gen 2 though..

anyways, i would love to know if anyone knows the solution to this issue....

You just have to raise the car up, and then take the bushin' mount, and then take the mount off, and then take the bushin' off, and put on some lithium grease on the RSB, you can wrap the area near where the poly bushin' mounts wit some plumbers tape, and the put the lithium grease on top of that, and replace the poly bushin' and then the mount.

Forget lithium grease use Teflon paste works so much better at lease in my experience and with salt filled NY winters and drastic temp changes (0 - 100F) no squeaks for a year now.
