    Squeak in Rear suspension

    I've done a search to no avail.

    slow moving high frequency articulation in the rear suspension is giving me some pretty good squeaking/ creaking. Example: turning into my driveway that is a slight grade.
    I have H&R coilovers, front adjustable control arms, but no other suspension mods. Before I go diving into it this weekend, I was wondering if anyone has some thoughts, or has encountered the same.

    2012 Audi S4: 74,000 miles

    thanks in advance.

    How old are your coilovers and does the squeak happen only over bumps?

    The coilovers are maybe a year old, and yes, only over slow articulating bumps...... Actually... I will have to pay attention to that now.. now you have me wondering if I hear it during slow speed turns too. I'll get back to you on that.

    Well, I had H&R coilovers and my rear squeaked like a door hinge over bumps. It was the rear strut bushing which collapsed. Had to get the bushing from an H&R dealer. Don't know if yours is going to be the same issue but, worth checking it out. This was on a B5 S4.

    Thank you! I will definitely check into that!

    update: it wasn't the rear, it was the front adjustable control arms. The one boot came off and the joint was dry. Re-greased it, reconnected the boot and I'm back to no more creak...
