Its a in built feature, not quite as bad as earlier fords though, something needs a bit of lube, it aint much, in my opinion.

Kick your rear bar and see if it makes noises, if so .. its that (common to happen)
Otherwise gte some spray wetlub (nulon ezi glide maybe) and spray it into your bushes and where ever else you wanna spray your wet stuff over lol.. should fix the problem or get the gurnie underneath the car at car lovers..

This is a long shot because I don't exactly know how it all works back there. But when you install new rear shocks/springs, apparently there are a couple of bolts/nuts you have to tighten up when the car is actually ON the ground. Someone else can probably enlighten you more on that...

cheers FINALLY!! Someone with the exact same problem as i! It gets bloody annoying 'dunnit?  .
I have new shocks and springs, oiled bushes, cable tied everything loose, adjusted exhaust pipe and secured the rear bumper ... but no fix. If you find something mate, give us a hoy! I NEED to get this noise kicked once and for all! |

My car had it as well, as a matter of fact it comes stock.
Replace the upper and lower trailing arm bushes with nolothane ones and make sure you grease them well and do the bolts up tight. It will still sqeak for a few hundred kms, but after that it should be good.

I had a guess that it could be the trailing arm bushes or something to do with the watts linkage. Are you 99.9% sure thats the problem? Sorry to put the pressure on but i dont always want to have the stezza up loud haha!

I'm glad i'm not the only one, i've got a few days off n i'm gettin my exhaust looked at by "Australias best" on cantebury road in syd, see if they can help with the squeak, i'll hit all available areas with grease or spray lube HOPEFULLY sumthing will work, i'll keep Y'all posted.

Hey all. New to fordmods but not to the sqeak club. anyway i had an annoying sqeak anytime i went over a speed bump which really p****d me off. I ended up replacing the rear sway bushes which fixed it straight up

How much did they set you back? I reckon they might be a cheaper place to start at than the trailing arm bushes... |

rear sway bar bushes cost me $30 form auto one but there on ebay for about $20. You should get ten in a pack but you only need 8 to do both sides.
