I had something similar to this about 5 months ago when I did all the suspension work on my SS. Turns out the one part which I never upgraded which was my shocks was making an annoying squeek noise in the back. They got replaced after that so maybe that will help you. Your car have alot of miles on it? Try and think of when you can remember first hearing the noise and if you made any modifications around that time.

hell ya it has 115k i havent done any recent mods but when i bought it it had different shocks and a lowering kit..it sounds like thats where it could be location wise..i got under it the other day but it was on jack stands so i didnt want to start it.??

115k isnt a lot of miles...

Mines only got 39,000 miles and is a 2000, when you do mods to your suspension like lowering it it changes the position of the shock and like mine started to leak fluids causing it to squeek.

[claytonr]

thats prolly what it is then..i am pretty mechanically inclined but i cannot find it without a lift..ill get it looked at and prolly get the shocks replaced!

Hey clayton just following up if you fixed your problem or not. Curious if you got that fixed.

[claytonr]

nope i have been veryyyy busy with school and work

My car was squeaking too when I got it. The shocks were leaking. When I put in the lowering springs, I changed the shocks and it went away.

[claytonr]

ya mine is lowered so that could possibly be it..cant hurt putting new shocks anyways..thanks

On the problem with a squeak up front check the hood latches there is when hood is closed a slight hook that goes in to the top part of the hood latch ,look at the hook part ,use cresent wrench to move it towards motor slightly or towards your fender try to see any rubbing of paint off hood latch i found my squeak after about a year or so.
