Default suspension squeeking

Today i went over sum speedbumps going faster than i should have , and sped over one as i was turning/accelerating.

Now everytime i go over a bump with my wheels turned, the suspension squeeks. What does that mean??

The car cant be that fragile can it? Anyone want to explain to me whats causing this "squeek"?

Thanks in advance.

I to thought it was my suspension squeeking, however it turned out to be my hood latch. It was moving around to much in there, so you can try adjusting 2 of the rubber stops by turning them, or you can adjust the hood latch itself so it closes better. I used some WD40 in there and it got rid of the squeek for a while.

Same here,torsional squeak, hood latch. Your car is a few years old so it may be time for a little grease on both the mechanism and the hook. Backing the rubber stops out a 1/4 turn might help as well. WD-40 is a little lite for the job, all-purpose grease will last longer. The sound was driving me nuts and was nearly impossible to pinpoint. Takes about 5 minutes to try this.

k, so the squeeking is back. dammit

however, it seems to only squeek when i go over a speedbump/bump when my tires are turned to the side. So knowing that, whats ur best guess at which part of the suspension is causing this?

arghh, i hate squeeks!
