Hello all, so lately when driving with the windows down I am hearing a squeak upon suspension compression, sounds like it could be coming from all wheels. No oil leakage that I can tell from the dampers. Does anyone else notice this with their car?
 
Yes I am getting the same sounds. When i go around a corner left ot right I hear sqeaks in the front. When I get out of the car something in the rear sqeaks. I can stand outside the drivers door with it open and rock the car by hand and the rear sqeaks. Sounds to me like bushings, I have an app. at the dealer as I am under warranty. It is annoying.
 
I'm getting the same thing, but it sounds like it is coming from the front driver side. When I have a hard compression I don't hear it (unavoidable pothole). I only hear it over surfaces that create a subtle suspension compression. I took it to the shop and of course they could not find anything. I was thinking bushings and I indicated so while at the shop and they said nothing was out of whack. Drives me crazy as I hear it all the time...
 
Update on the rear sqeaking noise. Took car to dealership as it is under warranty, after 20 minutes of 2 guys rocking the car back and forth and one guy laying down on the pavement with a light found the problem. Problem was diagnosed as a rear upper control arm bushing on the drivers side. Getting replaced tomorrow, should solve problem.
 
Issue was identified as a blown driver side rear shock. Had both rear shocks replaced today and the noise has gone away.
 
I have a squeak on the drivers side under harder compression, so looks like when i make my appointment for my window wiper motor i need to tell them about this since it seems to be blown shocks.
