Alright so this has been bugging the hell out of me since I got the car. Every time I turn or go onto a bumpy road the squeaking begins. And I can also push on the back side of my car, near the strut assembly, when its cold and it causes it to squeak as well.
The sound is really similar to this topic posted awhile ago as far as sound goes

Now from what I was reading theres a good change its the upper strut mount in the rear.

I am just wanting to confirm my suspicions on the part and not just waste money buying random parts.

Also I heard you can replace the upper strut mounts with an upper pillow ball unless im mistaken and didn't read what I read right.


Thanks
Armin
 
Most likely it is your strut mounts. The best bet would be to replace the struts and the strut mounts and this would most likely fix your problem. Good luck :thumb:
 
My car has an annoying squeak also that sounded like the rear strut but it's actually my door doesn't close tight enough. Maybe something to look at.
