My car is making a wierd noise/whine/squeek it seems to be coming from the rear, at first i thought that it was the shocks then i replaced them and it was still there then i thought it might the quad shocks so i replaced them also and the whine is still there any thoughts?. what parts (bushings,bearings,any thing that might cause this in the rear end,) might need to be greased/replaced

the car only does it when it it starts from a complete stop and goes away after getting to around 5mph, it doesnt do it all the time but like 85% of the time
please help

(97, GT,5spd manua,l 142,xxx, miles coupe) if any needs to know
PS i couldnt find a "wierd noise" section in the forums, so i posted it here sorry if its not in the right section

Whine=something that spins fast.Squeak=something that spins slow or has dried out.It sounds like dried out universal joints???These will squeak slowly at first and speed up as the car speeds up,to a point,then they quit.

So it is more of a squeak? Possibly brakes. Check to see if you still have pads left.

Possibly your gears? I have heard that some companys gears will whine. Did you replace your gears? and what company did you purchase them from?

do you feel anything from the rear end? feel any slipping in the rear end when the car is in gear to the time it takes for the wheels the start moving?

Are your control arms stock? Either way a little dab of grease never hurt anything.

mine does the same every once in a while if i hit a bump just right there is a really small squeek that kinda sounds like a bov.
