Default Squeaking while riding down the road

I noticed that while driving down the road I can kinda hear a squeaking sound. Doesnt necesairly matter if I hit a bump or not and its not the TOB because i just had that replaced and no matter if clutch is in or out it does that. Any clue on what it can be?

My car was squeaking hte other day too, but it was my exhaust. I had just swapped out the off road legs for cats on mine so i can get it inspected. I kinda half assed it since im putting the offroad legs back on. But check your exhuast and all the connections to make sure its all tight and stuff. Just a thought

Alot of times this can be attributed to the e-brake bracket on the driver side

Check for worn suspension components as well....determine if its comgin from the front or rear....another help if it could possibly be a suspension noise....try finding a background that has a dirt shoulder...and SLOWLY take one side off into the dirt and see if it sqeaks...then do the same for the other side. that might help you out if it is suspension related

There are a lot of things that can cause a squeak.. Worn CA bushings, sticky brakes, broken springs, blown struts/shocks, loose body panels...

Do you know if it's coming from the front or the rear??
