squeaky back
The back of my car makes some noises when going over bumps, it sounds like a squeak, but its not that high pitched. I have no idea when the back shocks/quads have been replaced so I guess it could be those. Any ideas?

RE: squeaky back
it sounds like the shocks, try pushing on one of the corners of the car and if it bounces up and down more than 2-3 times before stopping than it is the shocks, replace them. I have a similar problem when holding the brakes and drifting forward slowly but thats it, i used to have the same issue but i replaced the shocks/struts and springs and have had no problems since. Oh and Naples... in your mods list you said "2 cats instead of 4" Mustangs dont have "4" cats, they only have 2, there are 2 resonators behind the cats, and all that the resonators do is help produce a better exhaust note.

Where is that?

I had the same issue. Turned out to be my e-brake clips. Put some grease on them and the squeak was gone.

Look right in front of the rear wheels. You will see a cable on each side going to your rear brakes. Lube the clips you see that holds those cables to the frame. Hopefully that works.

What is a good lube to use?
