Default Weird noise #2

I get a "squeak" sound every time I hit a bump, not a groan or a creak, but just one squeak..... over every bump.
It comes from the rear, and I only notice it when the windows are down, but it seems to have gotton worse after a burn out.

I did a search and nothing really fits my situation. Suppose it could be a sway bushing?

Thanks; great site.

Just a guess here...

Could be the sway bar bushings... Maybe loose or need a little lube to quiet things down. Try a search, believe I've seen this question before

A real long shot here, but something I have experienced. After using some armorall on the weatherstripping as I have done in the past to try to keep them from cracking over time (not sure how many others may do this as well), I now get some sqeeks coming from the trunk weatherstripping at times. I fix this by turning up the radio a bit ... lol
I'm sure this isn't your issue, but nonetheless figured I would share.

I also discovered that when I bang on my muffler it will squeak. Now I just got to get under there and find it.

Resolved.....it was a mid-pipe exhaust hanger, its spring loaded and just needed a little spray lube to shut it up.

Now I dont sound like an old 65 Bel Air going down the road.
