Squeak from behind driver quarter?

Ive searched and searched and still no solution, so here goes...

Ive been trying to track this squeak down for a while. When I am stopped and accelerate suddenly in forward or reverse, I get a pretty decent squeak from behind me.

Does it with the hatch open and closed.

I thought my upper rear shock mount might be too tight or too loose, but I still get the squeak when its damn tight and when its pretty loose.

Doesnt do it 100% of the time, but quite a bit.

Tore the interior panel out, removed the speaker and pulled the carpet forward, then had a friend get back there and listen. He said it sounds like its coming from behind the quarter panel sheet metal. From outside the car the sound is very muffled and quiet, so we're pretty sure its from inside. We felt down in there thru the speaker hole and we have no freaking clue what could be causing it...

Any suggestions anyone? Thanks...

Re: Squeak from behind driver quarter?

do you have poly-urathane bushings that need to be greased? I know those will squeak. I have a similiar problem and cannot pin point the squeaking. Mine is a 2002 z28 and the squeaking normally happens when I am backing up from a stop, only sometimes when I go forward from a stop.I dunno? anyone else have any other ideas besides bushings? Springs maybe?

well its definitely coming from inside the car...you almost cant even hear it when outside, but its damn noticable when inside...

Re: Squeak from behind driver quarter?

i got this annoying squeak from the rear seat. where the rear seat attaches to the metal bars where you can un hook them.. I fold the seat down and the sqeauk goes away. But also i have the same thing on the outside of the car to behind the drivers door.
