Hi all! Just wondering if anyone with I30/I35 owners have had the same problem with their rear right suspension. It seems that everytime I go over speed bumps, it makes a weird squeek noise. Does anyone know where this noise is coming from. By the way, the shocks are new.

Possibly the upper strut bushing. It could also be pretty much any other bushing or rubber component on that side. Check to see if there's an grease leaking anywhere. If you can get an extra hand, get them to bounce that corner up and down while you listen for the sound. You might be able to narrow it down that way.

It could be anything. Anyway you can bounce the car and get us a recording sound of it or video?

I can list over a dozen things it could be. IT could even be your exhaust believe it or not. lol
