As the title says, and it's very annoying to me, especially when driving over speed bumps and such. What exactly is it that's squeeking? Is there any way to eliminate these squeeks besides upgrading my suspension? Like oiling something, maybe?

Mine has squeaked on both my 02 GT and my Mach. I think it's just the way it is with our cars. I'm not too sure what it is though. I've heard people taking their stangs in to the dealer and they would shoot grease all over the suspension and this would help but ultimatly only for a little while then the squeaks would come back.

could be a number of things besides suspension...

if it's just the rear squeaking...here's some thing to check out.

your cat back. Make sure where it is not touching your axle where the flanged ends meet. I've seen it before.

your axle flange could be bent causing the rotor to squeek. but it would squeek all the time, not just whenever you go over a bumb.

your spring isolators are worn.

mine does a bit. seams to be on one road that is rather bumpy and also curves. I was hoping that when I do the suspension it will stop it but maybe not if its inherent to the car.

Mine Squeaks. It is the bushings. It just depends on what the weather is. I notice it more when it is warm. This is the old tech 4 link for you. If you change them out to urethane it may help with new LCAs and UCAs. But the trade off maybe more road noise and vibration.
