I'm assuming my shocks are worn, the rear right btw, cos it squeeks going over bumps and even when I sit in the car. Very annoying when driving on rough roads and embrassing around people! But the noise isn't as loud and doesn't squeek as often after driving around for a while, like 10mins after warmed up. It really happens when I'm leaving my house or leaving from a carpark or where ever I was parked. Could it be something else other than the shocks?

 

Anyone?

 

My experience is that the bushings and ball joints will make noise more often than a shock.
Shocks will simply wear to the point of no longer doing their job.
High temps seem to compound the problem (its summer in Sidney). The bushings make less noise when it's cooler. These noises are not noticable at speed (but this might be due to my exaust system)...

 

Yes I also get rear end clunking with my 10years+ old bushings! Gotta get that fixed too. But when I stand on the right hand side floor panel thing when the door is open and I bounce/jump it'll squeek everytime the suspension goes down. Get it? I'm not really sure whats making the noise. The springs, shocks or something else.

 

If the squeak sounds like it's coming from the shock itself it's most likely the large rubber shock mount at the top. I replaced mine recently and noticed less noise in the cabin.
