This very well may just be something I need to get underneath and look for, but I figured I'd see if anyone knew. I've got this squeek in my suspension. It mainly does it when I turn corners at speed (like turning at 10 or 20 mph as opposed to after stopping at an intersection), however today going to lunch I noticed it did it several times. It doesn't happen that often but I have one turn out of my neighborhood that I notice it doing it at almost every time. I'm sure it's nothing terrible, but I may be selling the car soon so I want to get rid of it. It sounds like a metal sliding or rubbing on metal type squeek like something is actually shifting in the suspension as I give it some sideways force. Can anyone think where to look first or if there's anything common on these cars that may have these symptoms? I'm not the best with suspension so I'll take any ideas I can then get a better idea when I get under it. The only things I can say is that it sounds like it's from the back, and it doesn't sound like any type of joint, spring, shock or anything of that nature. Thanks in advance guys.

It may be the power steering gear shifting on it's mounts and creaking--TSB 05-14-3 is the Ford fix, here's a link I did describing my DIY fix...

That's a different type of squeek. It's hard to explain what it sounds like but I know it's not that.

Nah, not that either, that's caused by the steering. Both of the above options would be an actual steering squeek. This squeek is completely unrelated to the steering, you just hear it when you get a decent amount of sideways force on the car (I'm trying not to say G's because that makes it sound like it requires you to go into the turn at like 50 to make it do it, it really doesn't take a lot, but that's the type of force I'm talking about). Honestly it sounds almost like a bolt is loose and something is sliding since it's not tight and making a squeek... Hmm... I'm gonna go out to the garage and shove different parts until I can figure out where it's coming from.

Hmm... I think it might have been one of the bolts on the exhaust. I sprayed it all down with some lubricant and didn't hear it, we'll see. I'll have to get down there this weekend and check and make sure all the bolts are tight.

your first post is really long lols, any cliff notes? heh...

Alright with that said, is your suspension stock? did you remove any isolators? where is the sound coming from?

if your bushings have grease fittings try greasing them
