Teflon Pad in suspension?

[ChrisInNashville]

My right rear suspension squeaks loudly.   While up on the rack for exhaust system replacement, they advised me that it's missing a teflon pad...but I can't find this in my parts catalog.

Does anyone know of the part that I'm seeking?

Did they point out the part to you??

[ChrisInNashville]

Afraid not...seems kind of absent minded now to not have asked...

[A Dalton]

Ok
 There are no teflon parts , so I would just be guessing..

Hi Christietz, I had an annoying squeaking sound from the rear of my car which was cured by replacing the diff carrier rubber which is mounted in the boot/trunk. There is much previous comment on this if you search under “differential carrier” or “differential mount”. If yours looks torn or split this could be your problem. It's not expensive and quite easy to change.

I had the differential mount replace a couple of years ago, but still a rather nasty sounding clunk in the rear. This year, Herr Gottfried replaced the upper and lower rubber spring mounting bushings (all available) and then discovered that the protective cover for the fuel pump was loose and also interfering with the suspension movement, Voila! The noise is gone. He returned the old suspension bushings (actually rather like large washers) and they appeared to be fine, so it might have the been the fuel pump cover all along. This is something quite easy to check.

But I also agree, that the rear diff mount, if collapsed can be a problem, fortunately that is a pretty easy fix.

Great Feedback.   Thanks.   I'll start working on it and will keep you posted.

Sqeaking can come from the hanger mount - the longitudinal rubber mount that sits next to the right side of the differential.
