Squeaking sounds (seemingly from undercarriage)

[shornche]

Mine sounds EXACTLY like this. Can only hear it with the bed window open. Did you ever end up fixing it? 24 rptr

Nope haven’t had time to drop off for dealer to diagnose. Lmk if you figure it out

okay yall, so after months of the ordeal, service centre said they're gonna replace the shocks. long story short, that actually seemed to get rid of the squeaking. i'm relieved that they finally solved it, but also quite worried, given the car was not even 2 years old when the issue started, at only around 30k km, and trust me, it's a city crawler (mostly, maybe that's the issue huh?).

hard to imagine a future where this happens every 30k km, hopefully that's not the case. anyway, enjoy the present yall.

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!

Thanks to Topher & John for mentioning this. I had the exact same squeak sound and finally made time to troubleshoot. It was the rivnut/nutsert closest to the door that was loose in the sheet metal.

Went to the hardware store to make a cheap "tool" (6mm x 1 bolt, nut, & washer) and finished setting the riv nut so it was fully secure in the metal. All fixed!

The squeak was getting pretty obnoxious, glad it's gone.
