Default Squeaking under the ... ???

Has anyone had this problem?? Whenever my S goes through bumpy or rough roads, fast or slow, there's a squeaking coming from under the car...
It annoys the hell out of me, as I can't figure out where the squeaking is coming from...
Seems like it's in the middle closer to the front, sounds like something is loose, plastic?? Exhaust mount?

Check for spring spacers.

I posted this same issue a few months back and still haven't found out what is squeaking. It seems to come and go depending on outside temp.

I have the same problem and it's super aggravating. It just keeps getting worse and worse.
There are four rubber bumpers under the hood that the hood rests on, and I greesed them with Shin Etsu. That didn't help.

Oh yeah and my car was keyed two nights ago. Over $1500.00 worth of damage. $100 deductable comprehensive is covering it.

Since it will be in the body shop, I will have them try to figure it out. Damn squeek!

Damn right, Damn Squeak!!! I thought I was alone out here...
I've checked it's not the spring perches for sure.... I'll try the hood latch and see if it works tonite.
Thanks everyone.

I greased the hood latch last night and it seems to have done the job. Thanks Incubus! I'll keep watching it and let you guys know.

What are you thanking him for? I'm the one who suggested the fix. Glad it worked out for you.

I just realised that right before your response. Thanks Shyong!
