    Spoon rear strut bar solved my rear squeakin suspension

    Ever since I got my coilovers, my rear passenger side has been squeaking.
    I located the noise and I think it is around the area where the strut is mounted to the body.

    The noise goes away when i reinstall/reposition my strut, but after a while it comes back. I thought it is probably because the rear strut mount is not stiff enough.

    So i picked up a Spoon rear strut bar, hoping that it will minimize the movement of my rear struts, and minimize the noise.

    The result is...the noise is gone...!! absolutely gone.
    At first, the noise was still there. After a hr of hard driving, (luckily) I think the struts found their best location and the noise was gone! THANK GOD.



    jus thought I would share.. if you have coilover and squeaky rear suspension!

    Well, it depends on the bar design.....if it has joints, there will be wear at them, a welded bar will have cracks neat the welds showing as broken paint.
