Squeak from passenger side - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

grgonium · 04-08-2014, 03:03 PM

Not sure if anyone else is hearing this squeaking noise. Sounds like styrofoam rubbing together...almost like fingernails on a chalkboard squeak.

I only hear it 70 km/h or more. Worse on the highway.

Anyone?

I had my front fender replaced on the passenger side with garnish. No squeak before, but started after the replacement. The body shop/dealer claims it's from a broken part under the car. Sounds like they can't find the real reason and using that as an excuse.

When does it happen? Over bumps or just rough pavement?

If you push your car up and down can you replicate it?

If you push on the fender can you replicate it?

Honestly it could be almost anything.

Doesn't sound when I push the fender or garnish. It's typically on a normal highway. Small bumps and vibrations. Not so much smooth roads.

Haven't tried moving car up and down or even forward and back. Figured at lower speeds it's not noticed.

Is it for sure coming from the fender area? Could be the rear deck, they were known to rattle or squeak a bit.

While driving it sounds like its coming from the front right. Possibly through the sound tube under the glove box?

Crazy necro bump, but @grgonium did you get the issue resolved? I am experiencing the exact same thing with my fender.

It was probably a mouse.
