I've had a squeak in the rear end of the car for years, and I've never figured out what it is. This weekend, when trying out the new camera mount, I realized that I caught a nice quality video of the squeak, and was hoping someone here on teh Stangnet could help me out.

Here's the video. YouTube - Identify the Squeak You can especially hear it from :07 to :15.

It is somewhere in the rear of the car. I thought that maybe the old worn out shocks were the culprit, but after replacing them last weekend, it made absolutely no difference at all. I have no idea what might be causing it.

I know that I'm going to get the "it's a 13 year old Mustang, the squeaks and rattles are normal" replies, but I would like to figure out what is causing it and fix it. While I can live with it, it is kind of annoying and embarrassing when EVERYONE that rides in my car (including those that know NOTHING about cars) gets in and says "Hey, what's that noise?"

So if anyone has an ideas, they'd be greatly appreciated.

Mine was actually a squeaky trunk hinges and latch. I fixed it with some lube.

Maybe you should change your name to squeaky98gt

Oh man, that was a real knee-slapper.



No, it isn't the trunk. I can step on the door seals and bounce the car up and down, and it does it then. I guess I should get a friend to do that for me while I look for the source of the squeak. I'm thinking the only things it can be are the control arm bushings or the quad shocks.
