    If you saw my previous post on my coils making noises, I suspected it was the silencer rubber I added to the springs squishing around. Since I settled on some grease to take care of the issue I removed those silencer rubber pieces hoping to get rid of this sound. But the noise is still there. Now I am suspecting the Eurocode sway bushings might not be lubricated properly.

    Anyone have issues with sway bars squeaking before? Or am I barking up the wrong tree here? Let me know if anyone has any tips on how to pinpoint the cause.
    Do you also experience the sound in tight slow turns?

    No, this is generally wheels straight, slow driving. I hear it worst going out of my driveway which has a small 1" drop. Strange 1" can make that kind of noise. Also going over speed bumps does it if I go slow.

    I did have low speed turning sounds (like when pulling into a parking spot). This was caused by spring binding. I have since fixed that with a rubber silencer material and grease. Originally I thought this squishy mattress sound came from the rubber parts on my springs. But I took those off in the sound is still there that's why I think it's the bushings.
