My back end squeaks like an old bed!

[NorthernSHO]

Well I had my rear struts, springs, and mounts replaced with new Motorcraft parts as well as police mounts and lately when going over bumps my back and squeaks like old bed springs or something. It doesn't sound like anything is broken, the rear suspension just sounds like it need lubricant or something?!

Is this normal? How do I go about reducing the suspension noise? Are the mounts or anything supposed to be lubricated?

Thanks

It could be the sway bar mounts causing the noise, also it could be the sway bar links. To determine if that's the culprit, I would spray the proper lubricant (anyone know what?) into those areas.
Also, here's a good reference for finding noises:

Very good, thanks for the advice!

If you have poly mount bushings for the RSB, that could be the cause. I finally solved the noise from mine by first cleaning the bar and bushings, then wrapping the bar itself with Teflon tape (about a 3-4 inch section where it passes throught the mount bushing) and using a marine grade chassis grease.
