Squeeking in the rear
Hey guys,
I'm trying to figure out what the hell is this squeeking noise from the back of my car. I want to say its from the magnaflow cans rubbing on the bumper. Or maybe something with the suspension?
It happens everytime I drive on a dip or a bump. I thought I could just brush it by but its starting irk me more and more lately. Hopefully its not my shocks being bad or something

Sorry, I couldn't resist. You made the title too inviting lol.
On a more serious note... the noise could be just about anything... Does it sound more like metal on metal or rubber/metal? Does it seem to be more obvious when its cold out? Or when the car has warmed up? I had a squeeking problem coming from the front, and i jacked up the left side one day which caused the wheel to hang down pulling the spring and it somehow fixed the problem...

Same thing happened to me.
THE PROBLEM:
Check where the rear trunk springs meet in the middle of the trunk, under the 3rd brake light. The two springs are attached with a plastic clip to a metal bracket. The bracket is only tack welded in two places. In my case, the whole bracket came detached from the roof of the trunk and every time I hit a bump, they would hit each other. My trunk still operated normally.
THE FIX:
I unclipped the placstic piece from the bracket only, while keeping it attached to the two springs. I then used a drill to drill out the two rivits/spot welds on the bracket. I then reattached the bracket to the plastic clip, and then attached the bracket to the roof of the trunk with two metal screws. Everything should then be fine.
