Hello all. I recently noticed a squeak in the rear of my 2001 XJR. Don't believe it's brake related. Is getting louder. Quite noticeable when starting to move from a standstill. Even there with just putting in gear. Not giving it gas. I also notice it when pushing down on the rear. Is this something I can resolve by greasing/oiling? It just started and am quite far from home. Appx. 1,500 miles. It seems to go away while in motion. Anything 20mph+. Seems to happen primarily when moving at very slow speeds. I don't notice anything amiss while on highway. Seems to ride ok. But if it's something I can fix before taking trip home, would like to. Any thoughts as to what to look for? Possibly some bushings?' Any thoughts/help is greatly appreciated. The noise does seem too be getting louder. Thanks in advance.

 

Try some silicon spray on the rear exhaust pipe hangers. Real easy, cheap too.

Also new lower shock mounts. Real hard, real expensive.

 

Thank you for the information, as it turned out, was wheel bearing in rear drivers side wheel, replaced hub assembly and u-joint and the car rides beautifully once again. On the trip from South Florida back to New York as we speak.
