Default Most Annoying Sound in the World

There is a loud sqeak that comes from directly below my console when the car's suspension moves even half an inch. With someone pushing up and down on the car it feels like the sound and some vibration is coming from the torque arm. Would a bad torque arm bushing make all that noise? Could is be something else in the same area?

Sorry, "Dumb and Dumber" was the first thing I thought of when I saw the thread


Could be torque arm bushing or control arm bushings in the rear.

check your exhaust clamps. i've bottomed out so much they came loose and ripped apart so i need new ones. they make an annoying *** sound from vibrating against the exhaust when i accelerate.
