I have a very annoying constant squeak that occurs ONLY while my car is in motion. It will not do it during idle so I have ruled out the possibility of it being a belt. The surface of the road doesn't seem to matter so I didn't think it was related to the shocks/springs.

Although, I took this video today (excuse the poor quality) that has a similar sound to what I hear while driving. The squeaking seems a tad more high pitched. Could this be the SAME noise I hear while driving. What do you guys think could be causing this squeak in particular? Is it a bad shock/spring? NONE of the other quarter panels make this noise whatsoever.

mine just started making the same noise, front pass side only. It can be a smooth road and it still does it. Only way to duplicate is to do what you are doing. Strut, spring...???? I don't know either.

I had a bad squeek on the front passenger. After rebuilding the whole front end i found the culprit was the lower shock bushing was shot and i had metal to metal contact. Its hard to see with out removing the tire. Check it out.

Where can I get replacement shock bushings and how much do they run for? Easy install?

I will if thats it later this week.

I don't think this noise would come from the backseat because I can clearly hear it in front of me. I will definitely check that tomorrow though. Thanks!

You can't replace just the bushings. New shocks are in order. Bilsteins run about $400 for a set.

Anybody else have any input? This is getting worse. I recently got all my rotors/pads changed and a buddy of mine said the shock bushings looked OK. He said he could be wrong because he didn't get a good enough look at them.

The sound is so annoying that I frequently don't even want to drive the car. What other suspension component could cause this annoying sound shown in the video above? I really hate bringing my car to shops and will only do it if absolutely necessary if I can't figure out where its coming from.

Thanks guys!

Holy ****........are you literally bouncing the front end up and down with one hand?

My car won't budge unless I use two hands and put all my weight into it, and then it will only go down like 1/2 inch.

Your shocks are history.

Where is Spring Hill, FL?

Also check or grease the sway bar bushings. Take a look at the swaybar endlinks too.

If those are the factory shocks, they are gonna be toast now. That thing is bouncing way too easily. You could need other parts as well, but those shocks appear to be long gone.

That's your shocks telling you they're done.

Yeah, they're the factory shocks. If that's the only thing that can cause this annoying squeak then it must be the culprit. Time to start saving up!

Spring Hill, FL is about an hour north of Tampa.

Thanks guys.

Did you ever change your shocks? and if so did it help? I have this squeek in the Left front and its almost embarassing.

Sorry for the thread bump, but figured my issue might go here as well.

I have some sort of squeak I can't figure out for the life of me. Car has brand new brakes front and rear. When I'm moving at slow speeds, the car is squeaking non stop. Smooth roads or bumpy it'll squeaking like a SOB when it's warm. When I down shift, the squeakig subsides momentarily. If I touch the brakes when the car is warm, my car sounds like I'm using steel plates for brake pads. But that's unbelievably inconsistent. Some times it doesn't make that sound at all. If I really stand on the brakes, not a sound. I'm pretty sure I need a hub bearing as I made a sharp right turn and heard a small bit of whirring. But that could have been my tire rubbing (running c6 wheels). As far as I know, my shocks and struts are stock with 113k on them. I've pushed on the car to see if it's bouncy, but they seem to be holding up ok, but I'm by no means a professional. I'm going to try to hit the bushing with some grease tonight, would love any sort of input from you guys. Thanks in advance.
