My impreza has developed a squeak ever since I got it back from the dealer. I don't think the squeak is suspension, it happens when starting and shutting down the car. Squeak also happens when car is off and you let the hood close with a decent amount of force, making me think it might be suspension.

Jabbing the throttle and quickly letting off the throttle can cause the squeak. Bumps also cause the squeak. I took off both serpentine belts and the squeak was still there. Timing kit and water pump are fresh. Not sure what it can be, makes the car sound like absolute crap though :/

Any ideas what this might be? Anyone ever had this squeak on their car? Sounds like it's coming from the front

at 0:14 seems to coincide with bump in road. Might be upper strut mount. There is a central rubber component that can wear and even tear loose from the metal surround.

The squeak 100% comes with bumps in the road. It was gone on my drive to my moped this morning but I'm sure it'll be back.

It'd be nice if it was those that's an easy fix

It was the exhaust, the hangar for the cats came undone and was scraping against the exhaust

easiest fix yet!
