Default Body squeaking?

iv noticed when i go on and off my drive way at a angle the car makes a squeak.
all i did was lower it on TRDs. everything is stock.

would front and back strut bars fix the problem? this happens going on speed bumps at a angle too. (if i dont the front bumber will get scratched.

mine does that too. i believe its due to the fact that the roof is made out of glass. i have a front strut bar and i still crack/squeak. not sure on the rear bar. maybe others can chime in on that one.

yeah well our cars are fairly rigid compared to some...i can lift the whole rear end if i try to jack up just one of the rear wheels...so...i guess the only consequence is if it gets bad enough to crack the roof but ive never heard of happenig to anyone. Mine started immediately after my installs last year but i havent felt that its gotten worse..

At that point, it'd be just as expensive as the zonda.

I've got the "works" on suspension, and it squeaks a whole lot. If you don't carry anything in the rear, taking out those plastic inserts tends to help.
