2000 s70 gtl, when it is cold out, there is a noise coming from the passenger side rear suspension when I hit a bump, it is a squeaking sound as the shock moves up and down, once it warms up it is not so much, what should i look for?

 

pulled the carpet up and the upper shock mounts look ok, also the bump stop is in place, i wonder if the shock is wearing out?

 

I had a similar issue, but mine would squeak when I pushed down on the rear of the car and I found out it was just components of the parking brake.

 

what parts of the parking brake?

 

Not completely sure, but I'm guessing the pads and springs which are in the "drum" of the rear disc brake. You'd have to remove the caliper and brake to get to it.

 

how did you know it was the parking brake, and did you fix it?

 

Because it would only do it it when the parking brake was engaged. I didn't do anything to fix it either.

 

mine does it while driving, and not using the parking brake
