My '03 Vette is making a squeeky noise at slow speeds. I can't pinpoint it, but it seems like it has something maybe to do with steering or suspension. It's almost like something is flexing without lubrication. I know this isn't much info for you guys, but I figured I'd throw it out there.

Is it when you go over bumps?

If so it's more than likely the sway bar bushings. You can lube them or use Teflon tape between them and the sway bar.

If it's a rotational squeaking, look at the wheel bearings.

If it's a body flex squeaking, look at the top rear hatch hinges and lube them. They are right next to your head when you are driving.

It could also be your serpentine belt tensioner pulley that's squeeking. I replaced mine when it was only 3 yrs. old. This is the best I could do with limited information.

I am guessing it is a bushing of some sort. If you have aftermarket sway bars, then these would be the most likely area.

Sorry for the delay but I wasn't able to figure out any more info until the past couple of days. I'm pretty sure it's my seat!!!! Crazy, huh? I would hear the noise during cornering and accel/decel maybe so I thought it was a bushing, etc. but realized I can make it happen at a stop by kind of rocking my seat back and forth and/or sideways. The good news is its probably just annoying versus a serious issue. But, any idea what I need to lubricate and with what?
