They just cut them so theres no bare medal and besides I think it would be more a thud? I've got my car right now at work so maybe I'll pull it in the plant and take a look!! I hit a big dip in the road with my front end and the car held up fine and yet never abused the back when it happened! aaaargh

I hope its not something caused by my springs cause I imagine my warrenty might not cover it??

I have a squek coming from my front right strut since i lowered it... I only get it taking a hard left... either way my friend does suspension work for a living he said it's the spring rubbing in what ever you call the rubber deal on top of the spring making that noise.

Could be many problems.

1. The springs getting used to the car.
2. Faulty Springs
3. Water on the brake's (which would cause a squeek if contact was made)
4. God hates you.

Well I don't know if its the cold weather??? but I checked my back seats and the mechanism that releases them.. Well I put a peice of electrical tape around the little catch bar on the passenger side back seat and well I heard a tiny squek last night as I drove home now nothing x alot, but we'll see as its cold out and my cars sitting in a warm building!?
Maybe those noises are warm weather activated???

It IS your backseat.
I had my rear insulators changed thinking it would fix the problem and it didn't.
Then I went to my backseat and jerked the right side up and down and around... and then the high pitched mousey squeak went away for a week, now it's 'trying' to come back but only every now and then. It's something underneath where the seat and the back meet. Someone posted having a heavier person sit in there.... he's right. I put my roomate in the backseat behind me and the squeak went away.

I believe my entire back seat is not 'secured' down as tight as it should be. The left side is tight, the right side I can wrench up and down. It's something that fastens the seat to the car that isn't right. I'm bringing her in.

Good luck!
