Default The Mysterious Sqweak..Continues....

Okay...SO I had a High Pitch Sqweak coming from the Passenger Rear Spring...Becuz every Bump I went over made a High Pitch Noise...

To fix it I took apart the Rear Suspension and wrapped the last coil w/ a rubber Tire Tube from a Bicycle. That fixed that Sqweak Noise!

Now a NEW Sqweak developed!...It only happens when I get In & Out of the car!!...

Adjusted E-Brake too!

I tried to Re-Grease the Rear Sway Bar bushing too...That did not work!

Where is this sound coming from??????

I will appreciate if someone could shed some light on this Noise issue!!!..Its Annoying!!

Thanks again in Advance!

I've got the same problem also. Mine was lowered with Eibach Prokit springs and TRD struts. That's a drop of about only 1.5". I don't know what it is...it's coming from the passenger rear side.

I weigh about 135 lbs. and I hear it when coming in and out of the car. Especially loud during cold weather.

I think it might be the whole rear end frame of the car.

I also have a sqweaking noise, I installed the Hotchkis front & rear sway bars on my '08 tC and I greased them both, but a few days after I satrted hearing a sqweaking noise from the front sway bar, bushings I believe, everytime I go over a speed bump. What should I do about this bugging problem??
