Exclamation rear suspension problem? help please

hey guys so after i put my new rims on i started hearing like a squeak coming from the left rear tire. It only happens when i go over bumps or little holes on the street. I figured that it was cause the ride height increased but it turned out not. I put back my stock rims and it made the same noise after i went over these bumps. Should i bring it in service and have them take a look at it. Idk what it is but would it be covered under warrenty.

Thanks Guys

The squeak is probably either your shocks or polyurethane bushings squeaking. Do you have any aftermarket parts on your rear suspension?

warranty will cover it IF the dealer can hear it. It is very time consuming to figure out what makes noises such as squeaks and rattles, and so the dealer will probably pretend not to hear it just so they don't have to work on it. It is something that you can't really argue with if they say they cant hear it. Maybe your stealership will be nice and try to fix it for you.

If everything is stock, there is nothing to grease. The stock bushings are rubber and don't need greasing. My guess is that your shock is making the noise. Try pushing down on your bumper repeatedly to simulate bumps with the trunk open and see if you can tell if it is coming from the shock.

The Stang is making noise because it's complaining that you also have Jeep in the same picture...
