    Tired of the noise..help me

    I got this awful squeaking notice coming from the rear of my car. I figure the noise is coming from worn control arms. The problem I am having is finding the Control arms for the rear of the vehicle. I’ve done my search and it seems like everyone just selling them for the front rear and not for just the rear. I consider just buying the bushings instead. Has anyone had a problem with the rear control arms? If so tell me what you did or tell me if going the bushing route is the right thing to do…I appreciate any serious opinion you may have.

    It’s hard to ride so fresh and so clean when your car sounds like you got a trunk full of birds in it.

    Get some spray grease like white lithium or maybe even wd-40. Rock the car to make it squeak. Spray one joint/bushing/connection then rock again. Repeat until the squeak stops and you've found the problem area.
