Struts squeaking or just a strange noise

[newFormula]

Everytime i go over speedbumps and have the radio turned off you can hear this horrible sound coming from the trunk. It sounds like something is squeaking or metal rubbing together, im almost positive that the noise is coming from my struts. Anyone else has this problem or know what it could be? thanks

How cold is it? The front struts in the MSP tend to make a "crunching" type noise when going over bumps in the cold.

Mine creaks when its really humid outside.....those are the bushings. If its a clunk, thats the bushings as well when its cold

dude, it's THE msp clunk.

Yeah, re-read, thought the sound was coming from the front. It's the rear swaybar clunk.

haha those bushings have been replaced around 3 times.. any known? fix for it?

the dealership will keep replacing with the same ones, and they dont grease it down properly. cheapest solution is getting a set of replacement bushings from AWR. Search for 'how to fix clunk cheap' or something like that
