[s-cars] Squeaky car

[Scott Thompson]

Squeak from the rear could be the upper suspension link outside bushing.
Mine squeaks like crazy on the right rear.  The seal around it may be
broken, which you can tell from inspection.  It started out very mild, but
got loud within a few weeks.  The bushing is not replaceable, and the
suspension links are ~$120 each from thepartsbin.com.  I got them from Tim
LeClair @ Foreign Auto in Michigan (Thanks Tim Leonard): $96 for BOTH sides
shipped.  Phone is 1.810.742.8668.  Parts are OCAP made in Italy, with TUV
stamp on package.  I haven't put them on yet.   Going to do it with my
Bilstein HD install in the next month or so.
