My car has a squeak, but where? Recently there has been a squeak coming from the rear of the car, it only happens when i sustain a high RPM (2750+) for more than 20seconds and it also happens when i hit bumps sometimes - happens more when i sustain high RPMs. I want to say its my suspension but i can't see how that could be related to RPMs. The car is about to hit 20,000 miles so thats not that old for miles. It has been to the track about 2 or 3 times with a total of 7 or 8 passes. Always keep up on maintenance. If mods matter they are in my sig.
Any ideas? The worst part is a few of my friends said they could hear the squeak before my exhaust...

My car just turned 19,000 last night. 02 Vert. I get a sqeak every 6-7 months from one of the rear trailing arms. probably urethan busings??? I hit it with wd-40 about 7 -8 months ago and all was quiet till just last week.
They definitely are not the tightest cars ever made.

I had a really bad squeek when i hit bumps and when i held rpms up high, it turned out to be one of the hangers for the exhaust, hit it with some wd40 and it hasnt done it since. hope that helps

That does sound like it is a hanger or something close to the exhaust area. Mine used to do that. Although it could be a bunch of other different factors..ya never know.
