Rear End Squeaking?!?
Alright Gentlemen, first and foremost I should warn you..I'm not the most mechanical literate...
I just dropped my car on tein springs (1inch all around and put 18's on) if that makes any difference..I noticed that my rear end is squeaking a lil bit..only sometimes hard bumps etc...just wondering if it cuz of my springs or if it is my shocks, or bushings...its the passenger side rear....
It sounds like the identical noise I used to hear when I had my explorer and the bushings went on that...although the explorer was much worse of a sound and made noise all the time...(I wrecked those pulling a tournament boat out of the water on a shitty ramp)..and I'm thinking this noise all started the other night when I downshiftted pretty hard on the highway...
anyways any insight would be good before I take it in..any ideas on price too?
thanks guys!

I had it up on a lift today..axle bolts are fine, shocks are fine, springs are brand new and installed properly, bushings are fine...when I had my friend in the passenger seat it didnt make the noise...then when my buddy drove it he is baout 250...no noise...then I got home..took it out myself and started to hear it again (im only 145lbs)........I have no 
in idea what it is..everything looks to be in good order..the only thing I could see it being is my sub box which is a little bit loose clunking in the back..but what how would more weight change that!??!

Don't worry about it. Some S2000s just do this, even stock suspension ones. I get this going over speed bumps. Its just the bushings sqeaking a bit on suspension compression or it's the springs themselves creaking (like an old bed box spring). If you're really obsessed about it, get a can of silicone spray and spray all the bushings, moving joints and springs under your car.
Also, when you put on your springs for the drop, you may not have torqued all the nuts and bolts with the suspension loaded. You must always torque nuts and bolts on suspension parts when they are loaded. This minimizes the chance that parts will bind up.
