Squeeking from the rear of the car
 
got a squeeking noise coming from the back when going over bumps or bumpy roads, sounds like suspension possibly.

Common thing? Any ideas?

Thx in advance :thumbs:

I snapped a spring in mine whilst at the ring, could also be rtabs?

I snapped a spring in mine too, could be that if there's a wee bit of knocking too but otherwise, might be the topmounts on the rear struts or as above, RTAB's.

PS This is great being able to post again! lol

It's your exhaust mount. Trust me on this one ;)

RTAB or top mount won't give you a squeak noise going over a bump.

easily fixed?

Pretty sure it wouldnt be RTABs as these were replaced last year

Easy fix, I got mine done under warranty despite having a Milltek fitted. Sorry, I forget about that one.

Thx, any idea how long it takes to fix?:thumbs:

No idea mate, my car was in getting a new Diff fitted and they sorted it at the same time. Can't take longer than an hour, surely!

Not hard to do - 2 x 12mm nuts and 2 x 13mm nuts for each mount. Althought best to remove the diffuser first for easier access and make sure you have a good jack.

I can swap in and out a stock muffler on my car on my own with good tools and a big cardboard box and bit of contortion on my back and I am only a little fella :hahaha:

It's usually the driver side that goes first as it's a single mount vs the double mount on the passenger side. Sometimes it's the little U mounts on the intermediate pipe, but if those are gone then chances are the muffler mounts would also be perished.

Car is in this morning for it to be investigated, been squeeking every day until this morning so hopefully they can track it!:hahaha:
