Squeak in rear wheel area. Drives me crazy

[btruong25]

Hi,

I have this weird squeak like something is loose in the right rear area. You can hear it from inside the car. Does anyone have any idea where this could be coming from. I got out of the car and shook it from the outside and the shocks werent making noise. Help me with some ideas to check. Could it be the rear seat?

Could be rear sway bar end links, could be rear sway bar bushings, could be shock bushings, could be control arm bushings, could be springs/seats...

My rear seat squeaks where they latch

I noticed the same thing today. I'll be doing some inspecting this weekend

Same, try folding down then folding back up the back seat. Should fix it for a couple days.

A lot of my squeaks disappear when it gets warmer out.

Mine squeaks in the rear, too. It really does it when I apply the breaks, but it doesn't sound like a break squeak, it steady but kind of sounds like a steady up and down noise. It's there when I drive, but a lot fainter. My brother's 4th gen did the same thing.

I have the same thing. Drives me insane. It mainly happens when I hit bumps

i manage to isolate the noise to the right rear seat latch. Now the real question is does anyone have a good solution to this haha?

A little grease on the latch will temporarily help. Maybe Teflon tape?

I put some tape on my rear seat latches and no squeaks since...
