Hey guys, just finished replacing all the blown shocks/struts on my new-to-me ti with a low mileage m-sport set-up I found on craigslist (60k miles). I also installed a rear shock mount kit I bought from UCC (meyle hd mounts with gaskets and reinforcement plates...great deal at 55 bucks by the way). Anyway, the car feels transformed, but I have a low speed, low frequency squeaking coming from the rear that is nearly constant when the engine speed is low enough so that the engine noise doesn't drown out everything else. I'm pretty sure I've got everything tight, but do you think cranking down the rsm bolts a bit more may help? How about a little Wd-40 around the bushing in the mount? Any advice would be great! | | | 04-11-2010, 10:30 PM | #2 | Senior Member Join Date: Feb 2006 Location: Westfield, IN Posts: 1,335 | Scott, did you torque everything down? That would be my thinking if I was getting a squeak. __________________ Greg M42 Club member 186 WTB: HELLROT RED CLUB SPORT 95 ti sold but staying in the family. | | | 04-11-2010, 10:47 PM | #3 | Senior Member Join Date: Mar 2005 Location: Portland Or Posts: 2,666 | I use graphite grease on bushings ....

I'll check the rsm bolts and maybe add a bit of grease.
