My car has developed an annoying "squeak" in the last week.
I haven't managed to track it down yet, but let me explain it.
The noise occurs only when the rear suspension is exercised differently on each side and front to back. It doesn't occur when driving over sleeping policemen or speed humps (even if only driven over on one side). Bouncing the car up and down manually doesn't appear to produce the noise.
It's quite load inside the cabin and appears to emanate from around the rear seat back area. It sounds like rubber parts rubbing together (think of rubbing two balloons together) although it could be leather trim against something.
Has anyone any ideas?
Failing that any idea of how I can remove the rear seats in order to eliminate or confirm them as a cause of the noise?
