Hey guys,
So ive noticed a weird noise comming from the back end of my mp3. its sort of like an annoying sqeeking noise(frineds have compared it to a really old bed) that happens when I stop, go over speed bumps, or am on a road with bumps etc... and I think it has to do something with the suspension. Ive checked my springs and struts and it doesnt seem to be comming from them.
Any ideas ?

Honestly, I experience this with my MP5 aswell. i thought it was the springs and struts not sure about it. Since their old planning to change it next summer. It would be good to know other causes for the squeeking sound.

Probably bushings in the swaybar.

im guessing sway bar bushings though like thuzil said

White lithium l0ube so I've been told.

I just turn the music up and it solves the problem.
