Horrible Squeak
Horrible Squeak Hey guys, I have a horrible squeak while driving. It will go away when i drive pretty fast or brake pretty hard. At first I thought it was the brakes, but I bought new pads and drilled and slotted rotors and the problem persisted. Do you guys have any ideas what this could be?

If the squeak is not continuous (ie. it's rhythmic or happens in random frequency, however often), when did you change your shocks? (btw I don't think it's the shocks themselves, but it may be related to their installation).

Pull the little carpet tabs behind the rear seats, then pull the foam cushions, and remove the upper shock nut (be careful to secure the shock tower itself from spinning, it can damage the shock internally - I use a locking grip on the top part of the shock tower (unthreaded, of course) while using an open ended wrench on the nut). When you pull the upper bushing, make note of the shock tower's location within the hole in the body, and whether it's sleeved by the lower bushing. There could be metal-to-metal contact here, and that's what would cause your squeak at ANY sort of suspension movement, however minute.
