My brother had some noise on his 13 5.0 with the sportlines, he ultimately put a taller spring in the back to get rid of his headache. . .

do you have stock swaybars? The stock, non-zerked bushings can get creaky.

Yeah, they are stock. I greased them a couple of weeks ago and it didn't change.

If it's the springs, I'll probably just live with it; I like the stance of my car too much, lol. I just want to know what the source is.

Can't believe I lived with this for over a year. Sheesh.

Found the problem....sort of. Replaced the stock rear swaybar bushings with an aftermarket kit I got from LMR.

Also cut the rear bumpstops down another nub.

Would have done them one at a time, but it was incredibly hot this weekend (106*) and I was burning up out there. Don't care. It cost me $40, a little sweat and some mild heat exhaustion. Well worth it to not hear that noise anymore when going over bumps.

Thanks to everyone that helped.

Well, the steeda HD strut mounts will create more NVH. I used to have them.
Their noise could still be other things, and often its hard to pinpoint the origin of a noise in the cabin. It can sound like its coming from any direction.

That's WTF I am talking about. ;)

This is utter bs...I have had steeda heavy duty mounts on my car for 3 years they dont make any noise. If yours make noise you installed them wrong!

I had the same noise before on my 12 5.0 but it was due to faulty piston in my rear Koni oranges.. I swapped them out for 10 ways.. Noise was gone
