check your seats, had this problems in my lancer. it was kinda embarrassing, i changed shocks, cradle bushing and nothing, then one morning i was washing my car and i noticed one of the bolts on the seats was kinda slack tightened it and no more noise. just a theory i'm not necessarily saying that its causing your squeky sound

I had the EXACT same problem a couple years back

I went under the car (yeh it was high enough for someone's upper torso to slide under back then) and had a buddy rock the car back and forth and side to side...turns out the noise was coming from INSIDE the fuel tank

when I went to a gas tank repair shop in the Bamboo, the I showed the guy how I came up with that (cuz he doubted me at first), and when he pulled the tank it turns out that one of the baffles inside the tank corroded over time and started rubbing against the shell...it wouldn't have caused a spark or fire or anything since I always have at least a LITTLE gas in there, but it would've definitely eaten a hole in the tank eventually (either that or made me stab coat hangers into my ears to get away from the sound)

the baffles are supposed to keep the fuel from all flowing to one side when you cornering with less than quarter tank..it helps to keep some gas around the pump so u don't starve it when the level is low

essentially what he did was pull the tank, drain it, clean it, cut a hole, weld the baffle, seal back the hole, paint it and re-install it...VOILA, no noise!

confirm that to eliminate it, breds...park up and lie down under it or as close to the gas tank as possible and get someone to bounce the car

Didnt read through the whole post so i not sure if anyone said this, but check your fan belts, if they're frayed or on their way out, they make a squeaking noise that is insanely annoying. If it happens especially when the A/C is on then it's still most likely the belts.

If you running poly bushings you will get the noise. Poly bushings need to be greased.
