2003 x-type sport suspension is chewing up inside of rear tires what can i do? already replaced shocks,swaybar links & bushings

So your main problem is body roll? Did you replace the swaybar bushings? Replacing my swaybar bushing on my 06 fixed my body roll problems. If you did, did you get the right size? There are 2 different sizes of bushings. $3500 for the front end??? Look at Detroit Axle next time. I did my entire suspension for $410, including hubs, shocks, struts, UCA, LCA, Links, inner, and outter tie rods.

doubtful the shocks would be the source of any creaking/squeaks. Most creaking and squeak noises are usually a result of worn/dry bushings. I would inspect all swaybar/control arm bushings for dryness and deteriation. Spraying wd40 on all rubber bushings in the rear may cause the noise to subside for a while until you are able to isolate the exactr source

No i think you have a problem with the bushes and shock absorbers all being worn on vehicle of this age ,most likely cause of this sort of wear/damage is going too fast on unmade roads

Sway bar and suspension bushings - Yes, Shock/struts yes if shocks/struts haven't been replaced already. Check stabilizer links before changing anything, Stab links wear out and are common to make rattling noises.

check steering box and idler arm for play

(Caution ) sway bar end is under pressure.

1.go to AutoZone get new linkage bars or just the bushings depends on wether the bar has grooves wore into them from use and new nuts. 2. Raise and safely support vehicle,3. remove tire, 4.using floor jack safely support the lower suspension arm and raise to remove pressure on the linkage bar between swaybar end and lower arm 5. remove the nut under the lower suspension arm that retains the swaybar linkage ,6. loosen and remove nut at swaybar end. 7.at this time only lower the lower suspension arm enough to remove the linkage bar. install new bushings or bar to the swaybar end don't completely tighten nut at this time.8. install new lower bushing then jack the lower suspension arm back up aligning the lower end of the linkage with the hole in the arm once pressure is lifting the swaybar install the lower nut and tighten at this time Torque top nut to35-47 Ft lb and bottom nut 8-10- Ft lb lower the jack from under the lower arm and install tire lower vehicle ready to go Appx 1 Hr per side

have the frontend checked out....can be ball joint or tie rod ends.....It can also be control arm bushings or swaybar bushings..Try spraying some lithium grease on swaybar bushings and contro arm bushings...if noise goes away, consider changing them.

Could be anti roll bar isolator bushes starting to wear or link rods,

That all depends on if you have the comfort or the sport suspension. The sport is a bit stiffer, and the comfort is pretty floaty. Now, repair shops will tell you that you need to replace the shocks every 50,000 miles, however they should be good for at least 100,000 miles. But, how to tell. There are 3 items to check- how much "dive" does your front end have when you brake? If it is significant, then you might be due. The opposite is true when accelerating off the line. Finally, push down on the front and back end with your hands, and if it bounces straight up, then you should still be good on your shocks.

If you have rattles from the shocks, either the mounts or the shocks themselves might be bad. You want to replace the shocks in either case.

Note, that replacing the shocks on the X Type is extremely expensive.

Clunking noise in the rear of the vehicle is a broad statement. When is the vehicle doing it? Is it all the time or just over bumps? Is it happening only going around curves? Is it a constant bump that speeds up and slows down with the vehicle speed. You would be supprised how many clunking noises can come from the driveline not the suspension. It could be anything from a bushing to your rear differential getting ready to grenade.
