Default Can't stand it!!!!!

For months now, I have been trying to figure out the ever present mystery amongst 99-04 mustang owners.

The squeak that occurs in the back of my car when going over an incline quickly, or going over a small bump slowly... anything that causes the rear end to raise up ever so slightly causes a squeaking noise that is both embarrassing, and annoying, especially when you have unloaded an entire $10 can of WD-40 on every rubber mount you can find underneath the rear of the car.

I have lubricated EVERYTHING. EVERY THING that has a rubber to metal connection, and I am starting to think that this noise MUST be from the shock itself... has ANYONE the slightest clue as to what this god d*mn noise is?!?!

I had this same problem and found it to be the emergency brake like catching up on the O ring it sits in on the drivers side. Go check it out.

If you lubricated every thing back there and are still hearing the squeaking sounds, I would replace the shocks. Sounds like you are hearing the sounds when the shocks are in the compression mode which is when ever you go over a bump. Good luck, Tommy.

I have the exact same problem. There was a thread about this about a week ago and someone said changing the shocks didn't do anything.
