Ok... try and guess why the hell my car squeaks...



Suspension wise i have JIC FLT-A2s

Exhaust JIC SS 3"



Now I can only hear the car squeak at low speeds.. It doesn't seem to matter if i'm traveling over bumps or anything.. its just kinda constant.. usually when i'm slowing down. I can go over speed bumps.. this does not make it any different when it comes to squeaking.



My hypotheses are:



1.My exhaust hangers are squeaking (easy fix)

2.My lower pillow balls need to be replaced

3.The diff bushings are bad (probable since i get some clunking when shifting and braking)

4.My car is a mouse.

9 out of 10 it's going to be the hood latch. Some tape around the catch will cure it. I actually had to do mine yesterday. If it's coming from the back it's the hatch struts. A little oil on the polished part will cure that. Before you say to yourself, no no no it's from under the car blah blah blah. Go try what I am saying. My money is on the hood latch. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bigok.gif

Factory hood? My CF hood was squeaking at the latch, so I drilled it for pins and took the latch out. Problem solved.

ok i'll definately try both.. it always sounds like its coming from under the rear of the car.. so its prolly the rear hatch.

i had to tape the latch on the hood and hatch on mine.... finally got it shut the hell up for a lil while that way.

wheel bearing? wouldn't hurt to check if it isn't the latch

yep, our cars are great. I have tape on my hood, hatch, and glovebox. Damn mice!
