Hello folks,
I know that people probably ask this all the time and I did search the forum and found lots of threads about squeaks and noises but none seem to relate to me, at least directly, so please don't frown
I have a very annoying squeaking coming from the back of the car and not from outside. The squeaking seems to be from the inside, although I could be mistaken. At first I thought it was the rear seat, so to test, I removed it: nothing changed. After the seat I tried cleaning and silicone greasing the rubber seal of the lift gate (have a hard top): no effect. The noise comes when hitting bumps, more so when there is a sideways wobble. I cannot think of anything that can make that annoying creak/squeak.
Some background in case it is important:
The suspension is completely stock and completely new (OEM or Crown parts) with only two exceptions. The exceptions are the rear track bar (looks good) and the bushings for the rear sway bar (they are dry and bad, the replacements on the way). Everything else is new: coils, shocks (4600 Bilsteins, hate them, too bouncy), brakes (including drums and rotors), control arms, u-joint, ball joints, front end everything, including (sway bar bushings, links, track bar, tie rod and ends, drag link, basically everything).
Please help
