Squeaking noise- in cabin or outside can't tell
For 3 weeks now I have noticed an annoying squeaking noise. I hear it when going over small bumps such as driveway entrance or uneven road. Only notice at slow speeds but can be heard with radio on or off. Doesn't happen when the car is old which leads me to believe it's nothing something on the exterior I could be wrong. My commute to work is about 4 minutes so on a cold day like today I don't hear it. However this even I drove for about an hour and started hearing it. It's driving me nuts. Not being a mechanic or anything it reminds me of an old car with a squeaky suspension but can't be the case because I've driven with the window down and still hear it inside. Passengers also hear the noise. Any suggestions? It's not seats or dash I tried all that.

I'm hearing something with the same symptoms does it sound like it's from the front wheel well? I think it may be the control arm bushings. My car goes in for the first oil change since i bought it CPO. I'm going to mention what I'm hearing and what I think it is. It might just need some lube my car has 38k miles.

could be the arm rest or relating to dash/windshield...ive had my air vents tightended as they were sequeeky or rattling...take it to lexus and have them diagnose the issue...

i noticed this yesterday, exactly the same as isosunrise said, only slow on a driveway bump. And of course that thing is not Bearing my friend, i got my car checked nothing found. I would say it's the Strut Mount or strut itself, ill inspect the strut tomorrow.

Good to know. A mechanic took a ride with my and suggested it's something related to the strut However if it is a bearing issue I would be charged to replace it as the car was brought it 3 weeks prior for a new rim and tire that was bent from hitting a pot hole. He's claiming my fault my problem, in so many words.

Dealer called today - $895 for a wheel bearing and alignment. Wtf. I told him forget it and I'll get the car. Started *****ing that it's dangerous. How true is this?

i have a brand new 2017 fsport 200T with this problem, it should be coming from your front wheels. seems to be a common problem. i havnt had a chance to take it back to the dealership yet.
