I'm trying to find out what mine is.
Mine just started a couple days ago.... only happens under very light throttle. It's a squeaking/rattling sound. Sounds like it's coming from the rear passenger side.

Who was the "someone" that told you it was your LCA?

Whenever this topic comes up on this forum (quite often) it's usually loose lca bolts, or a squeaky rear spring isolator...

im goin with muffler bearings on this one for sure.

are these stock or aftermarket lca's my umi lca's squeaked a bit at first but it went away

and DABEST09 your clicking is your axle bearings your antenna would never make that kind of noise, im assuming you dont know what those are either if you dont know what lca's are so take it to your local dealership and tell them and they will fix it for you

I agree with twevler. If its clicking on turns it axle.

As for your signature twelver. Hahaha sweet. 14.7 psi huh thats pretty accurate boost measurement. Thats absolute right ? haha

Lca's will make nosies but if its tight its tight and fine who cares throw so lube on there and its fine. If you can hear that in the first place you have bigger issues. LIke why in the hell is ur exhaust so quiet.

I have the same problem but it is the rubber shock bushing. It took me forever to figure it out. The rubber bushing squeaks like crazy. I put WD on it then it goes away for a while and then comes back. Go to whatever side is doing it. Push up and down on that side and listen if it does it then get under it and pull and push to get it moving you should be able to pin point it from there.
