    What could be the cause of this noise?

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!


    Whenever the car moves up and down (i.e going in/out of the car) or when I drive at a low speed (20-30 km/h) this squeaking noise comes from the rear drivers side. What could it be? Control arms? Struts? Thanks in advance.

    My rear drivers spring isn't in the lower spring perch the right way and so it runs on the strut back there.

    I took a look at that & other than rusty springs, everything seems to be sitting right

    That was worse than mine was but similar.

    Mine was the bushings in the upper suspension arm. The metal center becomes unbonded from the rubber and will squeak. The bushings are cheap and there was a thread about it not long ago, but they are kind of a bitch to replace
