Sqeaking noise in left rear

K ktmitsy
I know this may sound like a simple no-brainer; however, does anyone know what might be causing a sqeaking noise that coming from the driver's side rear (back near the tire). It happens when I go over bumps. I thought it was the seat track; however, that has since been fixed.

My guess is the stock; but really, I don't have any clue. I figured I'd through it out here to the experts.

Thanks.

Dave,

If you have swing axles and a camber compensator it might be that the U bolts are too long and hitting when you go over bumps.... seems like this "might" be the problem as it is drivers side oriented (more weight).

I ran into this and cut the length on both sides.... solved the problem. Look and see if they are hitting, there'll be evidence! (Assuming yours is a swing axle/Camb Comp car)
