Default Squeaking from underneath the car???

Here's a question for you all. There is this real annoying sound(s) coming from underneath my car. There is a squeaking and also a creaking. I notice it mostly when I hit dips in the road but its also there while driving in a straight line. Any idea where its coming from??? Suspension maybe :confused:

Thanks
Mike

If you bounce the car on your own can you hear it? From the front? From the back?

Check to see if your exhaust system is hitting metal (bracket, underside, etc.). I had the same problem...this was the reason.
