Default 1992 body squeaks

My corvette has started to squeak when it goes over any little bumps. The shocks aren't the problem since they were recently replaced. Any suggestions on the body squeaks?

I'm no expert on Vettes but am getting pretty familier with mine, these cars are down right harsh riding and built very stiff. Prone to a lot of vibration, I expect squeaks are just part of ownership and the reason people add loud exhaust and loud stereos.

You need to be more descriptive on where you think the squeaks are coming from, dash, just rear end, just front end, under car etc etc. There will be some common fixable areas but others are just going to happen.

FSM has a whole chapter dealing with "noise reduction" (10-1A), some very specific places to check. But, as stated, some of these squeaks, etc. are the nature of the beast, as stated, turn the radio up.

I searched all mine down when I got it, no more squeaks. You need to go through it from front to back. A inproperly aligned hood will squeak.
