Squeaking Suspension

[5PointSlow]

What's up guys. I've had Ford Performance Street Springs and some other suspension mods on my 2016 Mustang GT PP for around 4 months. About a week ago I noticed that my suspension would squeak when going over rougher pavement at low speeds. I'm in Michigan so it has gotten colder recently.

Anyone else experience something similar or know what could be causing this?

Same springs on my 17 and I hear some minor squeaking at low speed over bumps.
Don't hear it a speed, I don't worry about it.

Is the sound coming from the just the rear? If you push on the trunk (a sturdy spot where it wont dent) can you replicate the sound?

If so, and if you have delrin bushing vertical links, that is likely the culprit. Had the same issue myself with my BMR vertical links, and a very similar time frame when the squeaking began.

Pretty easy fix, just remove the vertical links, grab some silicone lube and spray the bushings and get all up in there. Did this on mine and I have been squeak free for almost a month.

Yea, just the rear.

I have Steeda vertical links, so they're aluminum, but I'd assume it's the same root cause. Thanks

No problem, let me know how it goes!

My friends car developed a really bad squeak. Turned out to be his Steeda Vertical Links which were bone dry after a few thousand miles (and properly lubed pins and bushings using the supplied Steeda Grease). I'd personally put the stock one's back on but he cleaned off the pins which started to fuse to the bushing, relubed them and the squeak went away.
