Squeaking noise from hatchback I was going up my friends driveway earlier on a sideways angle, and hear a pneumatic squeak towards my rear. It was pretty blatant so I just want to make sure its NOT my T-Bar roof and hopefully the pneumatic shocks for the hatchback. Do these pneumatic shocks flex under sideways body flex?
I get a squeak back there all the time when driving (I imagine this is partially because the roads here are crap). I'll check the spare, but it sounds like a similar pneumatic sound. I don't have t-tops btw.

If the driveway was steep enough to cause body flex as you described, then the shocks could be the problem.
Two days ago, as I was driving on the highway, I started hearing a squeaking sound from the back of the car.
I completely pulled the spare tire & jack out of the car to see if the squeak would come back during my commute the next day. Yup, still squeaking even without the spare back there.
So I thought maybe it's the antenna. Turned the radio off (which retracts the antenna back down) and the squeaking still persisted--so it's not coming from the antenna either.
I can be cruising on the highway and it does *not* squeak when my foot is *off* the gas. However, as soon as I apply moderate throttle (and the road is bumpy) the squeaking surfaces.
Ideas? solutions? Pick up some earplugs?
