Hi All,

I have a very high pitched squeaking noise coming from the left hand side of the vehicle. I can't pin point what it is but it generally happens when the car is travelling over bumpy roads. Its driving me nuts. It sounds kind of like a loose nut/washer hitting another metal quickly. I have taken apart the back seats, left side interior panels looking for loose screws/nuts/bolts but haven't found anything.

Any of you guys have any ideas?

??? droplinks or some other bushes?

I thought that would be more of a lower pitch noise. This is very high pitched and sounds like its coming from inside the car as opposed to outside.

The plastic panels on either side of the rear seats are held in by 3 metal clips. These squeak when going over bumps sometimes (I travel on a dirt road at least once a week). If you remove the plastic panels and line the slots the clips fit into with tape or something like that, the clips stop squeaking.

Hope that helps

Thanks for the tip mate, that could very well be it. It seems like the type of sound that would be made if the metal from the clip is scraping against the clip.

I had that very same problem ... High pitch squeeling noise from the front left of the car... Would only happen everytime I gave the car a good hit ...

Changed girlfriends, and the problem stopped ...
