Something like RuGlyde, which is commonly used in mounting tires and
is a rubber lubricant. It is very im****tant to use a lube made for
rubber because some products, especially petroleum based, will damage
rubber. Go to any good auto parts store and ask for rubber lube. There
are many brands, all ok. A product in a spray can with a spray nozzle
extension will work good in reaching all parts of the rubber bu****ngs.
Spray it up then bounce the car up and down to make the lube spread.
Do the bu****ngs one at a time, and when (and if) the noise goes away,
you will know which one was causing the problem.
Pay particular attention to the anti-sway bar bu****ngs and
connections. Make sure the rubber bu****ngs are tight with no play.
