Okay, now i don't know if all Rx's make this noise or not, but whenever i go over a bump i hear a squeeky noise, and i don't know what it's coming from anyone else have this problem or know anything about it? Is it something with the suspension? I don't know but i'm just curious.

Man, it could be a lot of things. Is it interior or exterior? I'm guessing that it's exterior. It could be supension related (bushings, etc.) I just had an annoying skeak, and it was my hood latch. I greased it and the squeek went away. When you're driving down a back road or someplace not crowded, pop your hood while you're driving. If it goes away, that's your culprit. Good luck.

Scrub,

The squeek is the hood rubbing the rubber bump stops on either side of the engine bay. Grease the stops with some clear grease and it should go away. The grease I had on it must have worn off.

hmm, okay thanks guys i will have to try it. What kind of grease should i use?

rynberg

you can use lithium grease, spray or solid

it justs needs to be able to withstand heat and moisture

lube both the rubber stops and the latch itself

I heard a similar squeek last night, as a went up my curb/driveway bump, turning right into the driveway.

I'll try the grease on the hood stops, too.

I greased my hood stops first, and the noise didn't go away, so then I greased the latch, and it went away. Thank god!!!! I couldn't deal with it any longer. I would grease one at a time (the stops first then the latch or vice versa). Just to see which one it is.
