Squeaking sound...

I also have a squeak sound in the rear of my car. It sounds like its coming from the rear passenger side. I thought it might of been the back seat but i pulled it down and the squeak is still there.
Sometimes when the car is parked for like half a day, then i return to drive it, it wont start to squeak for maybe a half an hour or so.
Could it be the spring or shock? Its all stock suspension for now.
Thanks guys.

It is most likely the strut mount. There is an easy and cheap fix to it, but it involves time. check the suspension forum, there is a sticky on how to fill it and have the sqeaking go away.

yeah but that link talks about a rattle type of sound not a squeeking sound.

I think you can even hear this squeak from the outside.
I had the windows down & it sounded like someone from outside can hear this stupid squeak.

Yup, that link. I never had that noise, but when I installed SRT struts, the sound appears everytime I go over bumps.

Have you recently done anything to your suspension? (rims, lower, etc.)

How many miles are on your car?

No suspension work done or rims.
Has a lil over 100,000 miles on it.
It sounds like its coming from down behind the plastic on the rear passneger side up towards the deck if you know what I mean.
2morrow I'm going to remove the rear deck carpet and check that out just for the hell of it. I doubt its the seatbelt cause I can hear it from the outside when I had someone drive the car for me.
Kinda sounds like if I had hydrolics in there but a lot squeakier.

its the strut mount bearing.

i have it on the Same place.

Its annoying, but it doesn't harm anything.

Probably a hour and half job, and around 25$ to fix. I'm just too lazy, and i never have time to use my shops equipment exept for my day off... and i'll be damned! if i'm up there then.

That and our allignment machine is not working... soooo...
