Thread: Can anyone tell me what this squeaking noise is?!?

I have had this squeaking noise coming from the back of my car, in the trunk area for the past few months. I was out snow drifting lol and I got a video of my car. I never realized that you could hear the squeak from outside pretty clearly. You can hear it at about 10 seconds.

If anyone has any idea what that damn noise is please share lol

Sounds like either a wheel bearing or maybe you have a bushing that is shot back there. Def. sounds metal on metal.

Crawl under it and look at all the suspension parts and see if there is any place there is shiny metal showing.

If there's room for an amateur opinion--I'm not so sure about the bearing idea. It never hurts to check, but when I've been around a bad wheel bearing, it always had a lower pitch and made more of a rubbing or grinding sound. If it were I, I would first check to make sure that the lug nuts are tight. 2) I'd check to make sure that the brakes aren't rubbing. 3) I'd do a thorough inspection underneath. Try to see if something looks worn or if part of the suspension is rusted out. It doesn't hurt to tug on a few things underneath to make sure that they don't have too much play. (Just make sure that the wheels are blocked before you tug, of course!)
Anyway, let us know what you find!

i had a similar sound, and my e brake was to tight. if you jack up the back wheel and spin it you may hear it make the noise.

I dont think it is that, It doesnt make the noise when i am just normally driving down the highway or whatever, its only when i go over bumps.

Try your rear sway bar bushings.

Ive had the exhaust scrape on my rear sway bar and the hanger pins creating a similar noise.
