93 Lumina rear noise.. - 9/9/2006 12:46:02 AM    jayno20   Posts: 19 Joined: 9/9/2006 Status: offline just got this car and there is a noise coming from what i think is the drivers side rear that sounds like a rubbing or a squeaking. Maybe the strut bushings i thought, but anyone ever have this problem to know exactly what it is? Post #: 1

If it does it when you just drive around corners and bumps so on and so forth check you complete suppension, probalbly could use all new bushings. It may be shocks/struts, but it sound to me like a bad bushing somewhere in the suppension. (in reply to jayno20) Post #: 4

It is hard to tell even when you are at the car, but if you can have someone push the car down (if you have room) and listen for it, that would be about the best way to find it. That could be your springs too. (in reply to jayno20) Post #: 8
