HORRIBLE squeaking noise...

I have recently aquired the most irratating sound in the world. my rear passenger side wheel/spring/strut/something squeaks with EVERY little texture change in the road. I dont know if i blew the strut, the spring is rubbing on something, or what but does anyone have any ideas???its about to send me into a looney bin.

Never use WD40 as a lubricant! It is not a lubricant and will attract dirt like crazy! Try using a silicone lubricant instead.

Angry

it happened to me, too, after i lowered the car. if anyone has a fix, please let me know. it's annoying to say the least. i have to turn my radio up to not hear it, and it works, but sometimes, i don't want to listen to anything other than my engine... but then that stupid squeak comes along for the ride. i made sure everything is tightened up... what could it be? someone... please help!!! this is what happens to me when i turn off the radio

some areas lube will not slide in. dats why you need to use a looser oil. the AWR endlinks are the worst...after every rain shower you need to lube it or it starts queeking like hell.

added lithium grease, but didnt work. wd40 works, but not
too long. AWR material corrodes too easily.
