car squeaking from right rear
so my cars developed an annoying squeak from the right rear. even when parked if i can grab the rim and rock the car back and fourth it will squeak.
also when i drive at low speeds it continually seems to squeaks thought it was maybe the parking brake or brakes them selves but applying both while driving changed nothing.
any ideas?

I've got a similar issue as well :P I'll have to take a look this weekend... probably one of the ball joints in the control arm?

lmk what yours turns out to be, ive got a set of upd camber arms i need to put in still, would like to fix everything at once. pretty annoying that a car with 62k is already having some many failing suspension components.

Although if anybody else has any input, I'd love to hear it.
Typically if I put some flex on the chassis when backing out of an inclined driveway or going over some speedbumps, I can hear it "creak" and only from the rear-right area.
I'm sure you higher mileage guys must have had some of these issues. I checked my struts and there's no evidence of any leak. They're all bone dry back there.
If I grab the bottom of the brake caliper and push/pull, I can replicate the noise 8 times out of 10. I can almost always replicate it if I use a floor jack to relieve some pressure off the tire by lifting the frame just until the tire is about off the ground, and then letting it come down slowly and hearing the "creak, creak, creak" as the car drops little by little.
It started about a month and a half ago for me. Initially it was just the noise. Now at around 80mph I can feel a TIIIIINY little vibration from that right rear tire.
And considering I just put on new Pilot Super Sports, I don't want to let this drag on.
I'll try and get a video.

no worries man, seems like we are looking for the same answer, i need to do a front balljoint as well, just not looking forward to doing it again, as my driver side was a pita. maybe my local auto store can rent me a balljoint removal tool.
i gotta get my jetski back together for the 4th, hoping to do my front ball joint, and rear upd camber arms next week. if i finger out wtf is making this noise ill chime in.
