I wish I had a real fix for you. The only thing I have been able to do is crank up the tunes. I posted this not too long ago and didn't get much. Let me know if you find the answer. Thanks!

stock suspension? I squeak sometimes on slow turns... any way I'd just deal with it or get new springs

Don't worry. Ford doesn't hear that sort of thing. They are deaf to the regular squeaks and creeks our cars have. If I were given one thing I would change about my car, it would be the squeaks. I would get rid of all of them. My car has at least 2 if not 3 different squeaks at different points in the rear when I'm driving, stopping, or accelerating, etc. It's nuts.

It maybe the spare tire rubbing. Mine wasn't secure 100% and was getting a tire rub.

maybe it's the pipe being to close to the body frame? Mine squeaks everytime I take off.. but then I went to the 1/4 strip... made couple of runs and the squeak went away..

new lower control arms and shocks would make a lot of it go away. Got any subframe connectors? those made a lot of all around squeaks go away.

I really think this is the answer. When rounding a slow turn and hitting a slight bump (at the same time), I'd swear it's the whole rearend moving side to side. SFCs and LCAs will help this...and they are on my short list, along with springs/struts/shocks.

i was having that same problem....everytime i went over a bump, slow or fast, it would have a squeking noise. I took it in to have it looked at and found out that it was my parking brake wire under the car that was causing that noise. now problem fixed.

I actually need to bring my car to a shop to have them check my car out

When cruising slow, a hard right or left gives me a loud squeak every time

Any clue what this could be?

all you do with it is spray lithium grease where the line goes through the hangers and move it back a forth to make it not so dry when it rubs with the hanger

If you have an aftermarket Cat Back, that could be it.
My American Thunder rubbed against a portion of the suspension, so it would squeek when going over bumps.
I just had to readjust the placement a bit.

I've got aftermarket LCA's, springs, subframes, and shocks and I still get squeeks from the back. It's frustrating, but as long as nothing is breaking I'm happy.

The hangers at the top of where it goes through the brakes?

Thanks
