I have a '95 SC300 with 55K miles with the original bushings, struts, etc.. The car is driven a few times a week only during the summer months.

Lately, the suspension has been squeaking particularly at low speeds on rough road surfaces. My mechanic claims that this is because the car isn't driven much so the suspension compenents unsettle when I drive it.

However, I'm still skeptical, are the struts or bushings worn considering they are 10 years old and have nearly 60K miles on them?

Thanks!

I had the same problem before, squeaks when going over bumps. It was one of my bushings.

Hey. I have this same problem. Car squeaks bad when going over bumps slow. Seems like only the back though. Is it most likely the bushings?

The 1SC is well known for squeaking from the rear upper control arms. I don't think any company make the bushing for it, so you have to replace the upper control arms.
If the noise coming from the front of vehicle try to remove the front sway bar bushings off and lube it with silicon or white lithium grease.
