Squeaking sounds (seemingly from undercarriage)

[duduwenger]

I'm hearing a sort of squeaking sound coming from the undercarriage, when going over small bumps/uneven surface. it specifically happens at low speeds like ~10km/h. higher speeds or bigger bumps don't seem to replicate the sound. the sound seems to be most prominent on the front right side (my driver side, we are right hand drive). seems to be more audible inside the cabin than outside the car.

replaced parts twice at the service center: first, stabilizer bar bushing, then, upper and lower arms. issue still persists.

anybody experienced the same or similar? trying to figure out where to look for the problem.

following. i have heard a weird pop several times pulling into my parking lot at work. I can't get it to replicate anywhere else but sounds like it's from the same area you are describing .

I also have squeeking over uneven terrain. I don’t hear it rocking my truck through its suspensions travel wheel stationary so maybe it’s driveline related?

I was hearing something similar, then I realized it's coming from my driver seat back. The dealer service shop is chasing it, an upcoming visit will be the third time for them to track it down, if they cannot I will be demanding a seat replacement.

Tighten your front fender’s lower pinch weld bolts. I believe it’s a 10mm.

Had the same squeaking coming from my right front side. You should be able to replicate the squeak by pressing lightly on the front fender at different points

Me too! Also, there was one “nutsert” (threaded rivet) on the right side that was loose in the sheet metal of the pinch weld, and you could move the fender by hand and watch and hear it move. I squeezed the rivet a little with vice grip pliers to tighten it, and reinstalled that bolt with silicone sealer adhesive. No more squeaks!

Mine is def not from the interior, I can only hear the squeek with the windows down

Here is a video of mine, Il ask the dealer next visit. I can hear it the best with the rear window open

mine sounds way lower pitch than this, but this sounds a lot like a b-pillar squeak i had before. i had both sides done at the dealer, twice. essentially, there's something prone to breaking loose and rattling, so they added some rivets to secure it. not saying this is for sure what it is, but may be worth taking a look

Would a b pillar squeak only be heard when the windows are down? With windows up the truck is silent.

interesting, might not be b pillar squeak then. mine as audible windows up/down.

Thank you. This was my problem. As I off-road frequently, these nuts were not only loose, one was actually broken.
Tightened and fixed. No more noise.
