too much flexing?
Hi guys/gals,
07 GT - noticed that rear end started squeaking every time the rear part of the car is flexing ; for example, when parallel parking one rear wheel gets on a higher curbside and the whole rear end make a noise as if it is flexing. i don't think it is shocks/suspension. seems like the body is flexing and makes these sounds.
I was told that adjusting the trunk lid position may help with the sounds... ;-)
any thoughts/suggestions?

During parking, your springs will take all the flexing
leaving the body totally static.
Its suspension noise.
Unless Ford forgot a few hundred spot wels on the rear body...
What suspension mods have you done?
Ever loosened a suspension bolt back there?
There is always some chassis flex when jacking one corner by the body
but you would need a 0.001 dial indicator and a really big surface plate to see it...
Not easily visable with the naked eye and a tape measurer...
