Yes, I've already read the section on Common Fixes. I have 163K on my 97, V6 Contour. I replaced the rear swaybar bushings last summer. I still have the original struts on the car and I can't figure out if the struts need replacing or if it's the bushings again. I have sprayed everything in the rear suspension with a teflon spray at first, then white lithium grease and now with silicone with little help.
Maybe replacing the struts are the way to go. Car does not suffer from excessive rebound. Did anyone else replace rear struts and cure noises from out back?
