Rookey Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 Hey all, I've got a growing number of amazingly annoying squeaks and rattles in the car when driving but have absolutely no idea where the are coming from!! Does anyone have any tips on locating squeaks/rattles? Also what do most people use to cure them? Cheers Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A good whack and a "yaaarrrr!!" does the trick I don't think there's any other way to tell than to just listen out for stuff then push and pull and wriggle the bits around to see if they're the bits making the noise. If you can't tell then get a passenger to have a look/listen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JakeG Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 I found that my front wings needed a little tighten up and that got rid of the metaly squeak In my car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjgreen3 Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 Boot Rubbers on the rear hatch if the sound is coming from behind or the suspension top mounts. If the sound is from the cabin its more than likely one or more of the dash panels (or something loose behind them). Try putting your hand on each panel when you hear the sound and see if its reduces or stops, if it does its the panel your hand is currently on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sideexitsupra Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 Hi, did my boot rubbers this week. Previously the car sounded 18 years old with lots of squeaks and rattles. Now they have ALL gone!!!!! Very cheap mod and best place to start IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

p3te Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 It may be coming from the boot area? I was driving around a bit with a completely stripped boot while doing an ice install and it was silent, but when everything’s been refitted now there’s a bit of squeaking/rattling in the boot with the polystyrene trim and tools. Not to worry now though as i just have to turn the stereo up and i can’t hear the noises no more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rookey Posted June 12, 2011 Author Share Posted June 12, 2011 I just have to turn the stereo up and i can’t hear the noises no more That's what I do at the moment So the boot rubber mod... Is it a mod or just straight replacement from Toyota? Anyone know the part number for the rubbers? Cheers Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Notractionin4th Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 Changing the boot rubbers is the first thing i did to my Supra when i bought it. Had sooo many creaks and squeaks, but every single one disappeared when i changed them. Cheap as chips too, not a mod, just replacement items from Paul @ Whifbitz, check out the website dude.......

neilp9876 Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 I didn't fasten the trim that runs under the door properly once and that made a lot of noise. Is check all the plastic trim and see if any is loose or not fastened down completely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
