I've had the suspension squeaking for a while but at first it only did it when it had rained heavily and then stopped over the next few days as it dried. Lately we've had a lot more rain so the noise is pretty persistent and now after 2 dry days it hasn't reduced at all. Initially it was only the front but now it sounds like it's both front and rear. It only happens when I go over speed bumps so it isn't happening just driving but when it first happened I asked for it to be checked (free check) while the car was having a new battery and wheel bearing fitted.
They said they found nothing but it has gotten worse since. Did they miss something or am I worrying over nothing? I will add that I had the car washed yesterday, jet wash and immediately afterwards the noise was drastically reduced. Today after I started the car up the first speed bump I went over it was back to being obnoxiously loud.
The second thing I don't want to spam the forums with extra posts. The car is in very good condition for being 10 years old but a few things are rough like the alloys (scuffed in places) and the rear inner door handle trims. The one in the photo is the worst but both are pretty bad. I'd be tempted to do a dirty job with a marker but the black spots in the photo are chips in the plastic. Does anyone know where I could get replacements? They don't have to be grey / silver, black would do.
