My 2000 Lincoln LS suspension constant failure

[386Motoring]

Ok.... i'm on my 2nd set of ball joints, now i find that the entire rear suspension is shot. It makes a squeak that attracts everyone on the street everytime i hit the slightest bump or get in and out of my car. I'm really lost for words with this. I got 90k miles on the car, its driven good and it just seems like this car won't give me a break. Transmission went out around 85k miles... I'm going to sell it soon. If anyone is interested i'll be listing it within the next week and i'll create a new thread. I just can't deal with all the BS. I need a more reliable daily driver. Its such a damn sexy car though

Anyone got any advice on changing these parts? I'd jut like to get rid of the squeak at least. I tried lube on the components in the back. Anyone else had this issue?

lol. dont give up now! i know wut you mean about the suspension. i more or less did a total suspension rebuild front and rear myself. those wheels on your LS look pretty big and pretty heavy. this could be the culprit. these suspensions are a very good design IMO but they tend to be slightly fragile IMO. since i have gone from 19" wheels with 35 series tires to 18" wheels with 45 series tires, my suspension hasnt had any part failures (could be cuz theyre all new parts also). the squeaks you are hearing could be anything, i'd check into stabilizer bushings, ball joints, or most likely control arm bushings. are the squeaks in the front or rear? have you replaced anything else in the suspension?
