42,000 miles. There's a squeak coming from the right rear. Has anyone else had this problem yet? What was your fix?
I plan on jacking the right rear suspension up to remove that tire, put the suspension, on the floor jack, back to its normal position as it would sit with the tire on, then have my wife sit on the open liftgate area and bounce the car up & down while I squirt some light lube into each moving part. I'll have a jack stand under the chassis just in case the jack slips. I should know when I hit the squeaker. The light lube (WD-40, etc) won't fix it, but it should temporarily quiet the squeak so I can identify what needs fixing. There are several bushings in the area, or it might be a bolt starting to loosen. Any other idea?
