: Annoying Squeak...any ideas?

So they recently installed these really annoying speed bumps in the alley behind my office, and a few days after slowly going over them ( OK the first time I wanted to see how easy my X would take 'em, and 15 MPH was a little much) I've noticed that when anyone is getting in or out of the truck there is a squeak coming from the rear driver's side wheel well. Any idea what I should look at first? Did I screw up a spring?

Thanks

i agree. dried out bushings. if it were front sus. i would suggest checking the ucas, but since its rear, i dont really know what bushings itd be.

it is annoying though, i just recently got mine fixed.

Bushings is where I would start as well. If not, I know that your brakes can squeek as well when driving.

I'm guessing it's the bushings from everything I've read. I don't hear anything when I'm driving or braking, I only notice to noise when the engine is off and I'm getting out of the car, or anyone else is getting in or out.

Thanks to everyone on here for your input.

I would also check the 2 bolts on the driveshaft safety loop. Mine will squeek like an old rusty door hinge when I'm getting in and out of my X if they work themselves loose even just a fraction. I need to slip some loc-tite in there but I keep forgetting.

No need to fret bro, because me, Justin, Daniel, and Tuff will be glad to remind you on Mod day! :mocking:
