I was driving around the today and i noticed that when the car was under hard braking, and during shifts in hard acceleration there was a squeak. I have coilovers and slotted brakes for suspension upgrades. Its a 99 eclipse anybody have any clue
 
It could be one of your motor mounts going bad... but I need a little more info. than a squeak. I would check the mounts though.
 
Well it seems to be getting worse, and it squeaks every time i shift, and left off the gas. It sounds like it's coming from the front of the car.

you need to give more information then "theres a squeak". Is there any vibrations? how long does the squeak last? is it loud or soft? hell maybe your shifting too hard and the tires are squeaking :p

Look who's talking.....I haven't been on here in months.

Original Poster: Does it squeak at idle w/ the hood up?

I just had a problem with something similiar to this after doing my front brakes. When I replaced the pads I damaged the pad clip a little and I kept getting a squeak/harmonic from the front when I was coasting or downshifting.
Maybe totally wrong but check it out, really annoyed me like crazy until I found it.
Hope this helps.
