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 ***** 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.

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