[s-cars] Rear end squeak

[Robert Myers]

Hi Y'all,

My urS6 has developed a nasty squeak in the rear end.  It comes from 
both sides but the driver's side is making more noise.  The noise is 
particularly objectionable when crossing a parking lot speed bump but 
it is there with every little bump in the road.  I think I have 
traced the squeak to rusted Heim links of the HRSB installed in the 
car.  I have pulled both rear wheels, sprayed the Heim link friction 
points with Kroil and then rubbed some grease into ("onto" is 
probably a better word here)  them.  I'm hoping that the grease will 
work it's way inside the links and quiet the squeaking.  Is there a 
better way to accomplish this lube job?  I didn't pull the links and 
work on them on the bench since I don't have a lift and getting both 
wheels off the ground is awkward.  I can do that, if necessary, but 
would prefer not to if I don't have to.

BTW, has anyone sourced a different Heim link for this 
application?  The originals are adjustable only by removing the link 
from at least one end since the "adjustor" has only right hand 
threads on each end.  Right and left hand threads would allow in situ 
adjustment.
