Default Questions about suspension.

Well, when I got my 3.8L Camaro it was already lowered... I don't mind that but what I do mind is the squeaking! Is it normal for a lowered car to makes noises, it happens when I turn and when I go over speed bumps it drops pretty hard. Another thing, where could I could I get a strut bar for my 96 3.8L? Thanks again guys.

My car also squeaks in the rear suspension, and this is common on the 4th gen Camaro. It might be the bushings, thats what is wrong with my car. As for the strut bar, I found this.

those strut tower braces are all over ebay. I just bought one for $75 from a guy on LS1tech, so look around. I'm pretty sure all of the STBs work for any 4th gen Camaro except 96-97 SS's.

And I've never noticed any squeaking in my suspension, but maybe that's because my music is too loud

What springs and shocks are you running?

Have you checked and lubed bushings lately, for instance sway bar body mount bushings?
