Ok, so since every single week I see a new squeak/rattle/strange noise thread, I'm starting a sticky thread for each. Since most of them are almost impossible to locate, this should consolidate the possibilities and help you guys compare. As for my car, I have all 3 and stopped looking for most of them. It's called a $15k econobox on stiff suspension that gets driven hard. C'est la vie!

 

rear suspension squeak, more specifically the passenger side, sounds like squeaky rubber. anyone else have a problem with the rear shocks or squeaking?

 

possibly the rear sway bar needs lube?

 

yeah i sprayed different things with wd-40, turned out to be the sway bar bushing where it attaches to the mounting bracket. thanks.

 

Get some grease, I think lithium grease, because WD-40 will run, get dirty, and fade in no time.

 

Actually, I gave my rear end a shot of WD-40, and I never heard another noise. Maybe I saturated them well or something...

 

Maybe I should try that. I got a rear squeak just started up last night

 

okay when i first got my car..... the 1st month i was at 6K miles and brakes started to squeak and i didnt mind. i drove lyke dhat till 13k miles.... den started to let cheack my breaks.... and they said dhat it squeaks beacause yah my pads or some shyt neede dchagign and something needed to be bleeded ..... (i didnt knoe wat dhat means) so i was lyke yah ok watever just make it stop..... and the cost have all dhat they had to do was about $350.....and so when they were done they test drove my car and it didnt squeak at all.... but then when i got it and drove about 30 minutes and it started squeaking agen..... so i wont back and ask them did u guyz fix anything because it started squeaking agen and they said its no big deal im lyke ok watever...... and now its bugging me.... i dont knoe anything about cars and shyt... but do you guyz knoe wat will make this squeaking stop

 

 

my front right rim squeeks, i've had the brakes done and i am switching the rim today, i am putting the rear tires up front and switching the front to the back...

or is a that not such a good idea?

plus i am debaging the trunk

 

moving the rear tires up front and the fronts to the back is fine, it won't hurt anything (actually, that's how you rotate your tires), but it probably won't solve your problem. You might need to have a wheel bearing repacked or replaced. Not too expensive.

I don't think your debadging will help the squeak at all either, but try it anyway

 

my rear bushings were crap from factory and they had to replace everything in the rear. I had BAD sqeaking when it got cold outside. and yeah I'm in canada.

 

Not really a squeak, but my speedometer cable loves to rattle when the temperature changes. I have pulled the gauge cluster and lubed it. Still rattles. I don't know if anyone else has the same problem. I'm with Urban-15K econobox, you get what you pay for once you start doing more than grocery getting.

 

My rear strut squeaked after about 5000 miles. It doesn't anymore, because replaced it under warranty because it was leaking.

 

when I close my doors or the trunk I hear this high pitched creaking/squeeking from under the car..dunno where from?
