My 2004 S80 recently started making this rubber squeaky sound 3 out of 5 times when I drive it.

Once the noise starts, it can heard while the car is in motion. I asked my wife to turn the steering wheel while the car was parked and I was outside looking, the sound was coming from front passenger wheel area.

I heard the noise when the steering wheel is turning, doesn't matter to which side it turns, but I am certain the noise is coming from front passenger wheel area. It will also make the noise when I press down on the front passenger side wheel area too.

Any clue?

 

Sure it isnt the glove box? Its notorious for squeaking. May be the upper strut mount. The OEM ones fail rather quickly and make a racket.

 

Have a 2007 S80 with 27,000 miles on it. Just had the right rear wheel area start some loud squeaking which varies with the road surface and driving conditions. While parked, bouncing on the fender produces a similar squeak. Pulled the wheel, nothing obvious showing. Sprayed WD40 on all rubber and plastic. Seemed to quiet it for a few miles but returned louder and more persistent. Any ideas or suggestions? Don't want to start changing parts or take it to dealer w/out some idea of what the problem is.

 

hmmm could be the top strut mounting assemblies are bad. Also open the hood and then press again on the side and do you see anything abnormal?
