heres the thing, lately my car had been sqeaking a lot. wat i mean by this is that when i drive the car down an uneven road or even when people go in or out of it , it tends to sound as if you just sat on an old matress which has horrible springs. the fact that these sounds are so similar brings me to the conclusion that i could probably need new springs, but im not sure?(dunno) which leads me to my question does my car need new spring or what else could be the problem?

on another suspension note, do all msp's come lower in the back than in the front, because since i got my car the space between the body of my car and the tire in the back is clearly smaller than the front?

thanks

you can get new bushings from protegegarage.com..... If it sounds like your rear end rattles going over bumps its more then likely shot bushings aka the clunk as others call it.

Just changed my rear bushings. I had the same problem. evey time I rolled over a bump sounded like having sex in the car. None of that though. Make sure to grease them up good too.
