Suspension Squeak

RT SYD UP · 06-29-2014, 04:24 PM

In the endless saga of the M5 squeak, I have a question for the group I don't believe has been addressed. I have a 2014 LCI 3K miles. When I drive with the windows open over small bumps, I get a high pitched squeak. Interestingly the very same squeak comes as I brake to a full stop on a slope. It IS NOT a brake squeak but more of a chirp at the moment the car stops. The car has had all bushing lubed with no improvement. Windows must be down to hear. Sounds like a 71 chevy caprice. No offense to chevy caprice owners intended. Any one have some thoughts???

Do you know which bushings they changed? I've been having this problem for the past year and they wanted to put suspension spacers or something like that to fix it.

Do you know which bushings they changed? My pads have been replaced three times and I've learned to live with the break squeal but the chirping is driving me insane.
