OK so as I left for work this morning I hear this squeaking noise coming from the driver's rear side of the car. This squeak occurs when the car is rolling only and it doesn't matter if it's bumpy or even ground. The sound sounds a lot like an old squeaky tennis shoe. Twice on decel in gear with me not being on the brakes I heard a chirping noise that sounded exactly like a little bird chirping in the morning. Can someone please tell me what is wrong with my car, how to fix it, and how much I'm looking at having to spend please? Thanks in advance for any help
Car is squeaking please help!

I don't know, dude. Diagnosing sounds over the internet is extremely hard to do.

Sounds good to me. Ill ship it out to you when my bank account gets bigger lol.
What would the brakes have to do with it? What u joint? Would me adding a fore clutch quadrant and adjuster on Monday have anything to do with it? I also added ldc freeplay mod and I have it set so that the clutch starts to engage 2-3in off the floor
Well,lets see, your rear brake pads might have a wear indicator on them that can rub on the rotor causing a squeak or a chirping noise.Is it from the rear like you said or is it from the bellhousing area of your tranny?
its weird, but drive line noises sometimes travel, so the noise sounds like its in one place when its really coming from the other side of the car.
so sometimes they are a real PITA to find.
but now that you said you added a clutch adjuster im really leaning towards the TOB now.
clutch in or out? does the noise change?

I don't think it's from the bellhousing area but it's kind of hard to tell from the driver's seat.
Noise does not change with clutch in or out but remember the noise only occurs when the car is moving. I've been out of town all weekend but when I get home I'm getting out the video camera so yall can hear this noise.
No, my car has been lowered with no ISO's for over a year now.
Just got home and will be working on the video when I am done unpacking. Going to jack the car up to see if the wheel has any play in it also.
Just jacked the car up no noise when the tire was turning but was a little bit of play in the wheel. Crawled underneath the car and had Granddaddy shake the wheel and I found out that my Upper Control Arm bolts are loose.
Took the car down the road to a local tire shop and he saw the same thing. Thought it was a rubber bushing gone bad and looked at me like I was stupid when I told him there wasn't any rubber bushings anywhere up there. He believes this to be the problem.
Agree or disagree?

I had sort of the same problem. For me though it was the whole hub/spindle assembly. Tommy Vaughan said it was $1000 but I found it for $150. All of the little ball bearings in the hub were completely messed up. I also have worn bushing on the upper control arm. Bought a new bushing today and attempted to install but had no luck. Can't get the old bushing off for some reason. Anybody ever done this before? I need help also
Well, I found out the problem with mine. Very embarrassed I did not think of it before and needed someone at a shop to suggest it to me. All I had to do for mine was tighten some lug nuts tho...........
It's amazing how it can be the littlest things that need attention, and we automatically assume our u-joint is out or some other major snafu. LOL
I know dude. I was like WTF no way!
Glad you found it. Mine makes an annoying squeak sound and I think it is a bushing where the spindle bolts to the upper control arm. It looks like it had a boot that is ripped. I put some 3 in 1 oil (fixes any squeak) and it went away for a while. It is back now. Guess I need to fix it for real. It is the first thing I thought of from your description, BUT, sometimes I am able to make it squeak by lightly bouncing the rear suspension while it is in the garage.
Not sure on certain pads but my 04 civic did this. Was annoying as ****!
