after installing the RC 2.5" coils with the 2.2 shocks i have noticed a tiny annoying squeak in the rear.....i'm thinking its te shocks. anyone else have this??

 

I don't....But I don't even have a 1000miles on my lift! Try putting some lube on the shock shaft and some grease on the bushings!

 

yeah i only have about 100 miles on mine so far....but im gonna try to figure it out when i get home....its annoying!! what about maybe the control arm bushings? i'll look at that too.

 

It wouldn't hurt...check everything that was a rubber bushing while your look!

 

I keep hearing the same type of noise towards the rear I just had the 2.5" Teraflex lift installed. Cant seem to find exactly where its coming from though.

 

Well, I found it...it was the rear upper control arm bushing on the axle side of the arm. All I had was some silicone spray, so I squirted just a little in there and it stopped. Is it normal for the rubber bushings on these things to do this after a while, or should I be concerned?

 

Mine (left, rear lower bushing) started doing that and I applied a little WD-40. Stopped immediately. Then started again in a couple weeks. I finally ending up pulling it apart and applying some grease to the bolt (it's not the bushing itself that's squeaking, it's the bolt/bushing mating surface). That was six months ago and I haven't heard it since. Of course, this squeak is so slight that the only time I hear it is running doors off, and I've been doors on for the last couple months. I don't think it's anything to be concerned about--as long as you have good bushings. There were problems a while back with these bushing literally falling apart. Mine haven't, but others (of a variety of shock mfg's) have.

 

That's awesome, thanks alot...I'll be sure and just apply some grease and take care of it that way.

 

no you shouldnt be concerned. But you should grease the bushings.

 

I had some noise at first from my Rough County shock bushing, and they deteriorated quickly. Rould country sent me new polyurethane bushings and admitted to having a bad batch. Good customer service, give them a call, they'll look after you.
