Lately my suspension makes a brief "squeek" going over small bumps and mostly heard with the windows down. You name it, it was changed on this car...LCA, Shocks etc..except springs but they are good they said.
Must be some sort of other bushing?
My transmission also makes a metal "ting" sound when putting into R gear.:(

How are your spring pads?
Did you grease the bushings (LCA) or any other component that requires some?

I have the same issue. I swear it's down right embarrassing.
I also replaced everything except springs and pads.
If you find a solution please let me know. The things I've tried turn out to be temp fixes.

Me too, I also have the same issue!
Starting to think its the stabilizer bushings! they move a little under pressur dont they?
On my car its a rubber-squeeky sound, so might just be the bushings?...

My car sqeaks over dips and bumps too, I was told that it was the tire rubbing the top of the wheel well. It seems like it's just on the right side though. It started right after I replaced my 2 front tires.

No expert, but I would try lubing the swaybar links/bushings
with a silicon spray and see if it disappears, if so that would be the culprit.

Depends on where the noise is coming from, but:
...if it's coming from the front, then it might be a ball joint.

This happened to me last year. Had to get my lower control arm bushing replaced.
When I bought new lower control arm bushings, they supplied a special lubricant. I wonder if dry bushings might be the cause of your squeak?

LCA bushings were replaced but this could be the issue with just spraying a bit of lubricant.
