Default Squeaky Dash or Suspension

I have a Gs 430 - 2006. After hitting bumps in the highway big or small it seems like my dash or suspension squeaks inside the car. Since I can hear it so clearly I'm leaning towards its the dash or something behind the dash, It seems to be coming from the drivers side. Anyone else experience this ? if so what could it be? Any input is greatly appreciated.

You got the dash rattle package, my friend lol. It's a common annoyance that I've come to deal with. It's the dashboard, and I intend on squeezing some felt in between the dash and windshield like some members have done here to lessen the rattling. Unfortunately the fit and finish of this car wasn't a priority when it comes to the rattles. Buy some felt, and use a very soft, or wrapped off flathead screwdriver (be careful not to be too rough so you don't mess up the defroster edges) to shimmy some felt in between the dash and windshield. It should help. Good luck!

Before you use the felt method, just stick any removable cloth between the windshield and dash, just to see if the noise goes away.

yup common dash rattle. i had mine fixed by the dealer when i had my car and it helped lessen the noise but it came back slightly. a piece of felt is a cheap solution.

I thought I had the same thing before I got the idea to open the glove box while driving. Try that and see if the noise goes away. Mine did.
