well on sunday i was out at the heineken classic, i had to go into this school playground to park, i had my window open and i was driving over all the roots of trees etc, and i could hear the car squeaking from the back WTF???
what do you think a solution to that squeaking would be? i took my friends for a drive in the car during exams last year and they heard it aswell but i didn't at that time, what do you recon i could do to fix this problem? i might get out a fair bit of grease and go crazy on the weekend cause now that i know the squeak is there i want it fixed could this also mean worn out shocks or something? i dont know s*** about suspension so i need help

Ive had that, and still have it.
Mainly its bush's that seem to cause it on my car. if its from the back it could be trailing arm bush's, sway bar bush's, etc. Also Nolothane bush's sweak aswell which is normal

yeah whack some grease around all the bushes. It could also be the rubber on the strut tops at the back (behind the black panels behind the seats). I had the problem on my front RH strut and I put grease around the bush and it stopped it.

The nolothane bushes in the front & rear do tend to have a high pitch squeak when they get a bit dry.
I replaced all bushes in my front end which stiffened up the front & also got rid of the squeaks. When you put new bushes in you have to lube them up .

hahaha
I have more squeaks in the EL than a drunken session of horizontal folk dancing on a old iron bed! Im thinking its probably bushes, in a wagon i dont know really what it might be as i've never experienced any dramas with a leaf sprung car. (havent even played with the XY just yet) Just grease up everything thats rubber and see what happens. even better, open the tailgate and get a mate to jump on the car so it bounces and have a real good listen

mines been creaking since the new suspension/brake hear went in weeks ago and i finally found what it was. the new upper control arms i had fitted were for a standard falcon not and xr6 so they were rubbing on the diff. the xr6 ones have gouges cut of them to accomodate the diff so its getting fixed up this arvo.
