Default Any ideas?

For the past 6 months my car "squeaks" really bad from the right rear side. So for i have replaced the strut, and the trailing arm bushing, but it is still there, anybody have any ideas on what it might be, or has anybody had a similar problem?

What year and model? Do you have a rear sway bar?

2000 dx, coupe. No sway bar though. I checked them all and there is no damage to any of them, and greased them.

to properly grease bushings. you have to take the suspension apart.

wait a minute. if it's oem bushings. they're rubber. greasing won't do shit....
so what you're saying is you haven't actually done anything to see what's wrong other than make this post.

it's the sway bar bushing. I replaced mine on my 97 'lude with 88K,they looked fine, but the squeaking stopped after I replaced the bushings. Also, I did the right and left front bushings one weekend apart, and after replacing the driver's side first, the passenger's side was left squeeking, and it was remediated by the replacement of the other bushing one week later.
