I have SPF 2808 with about 11kM on it and it has always had rattles and now I'm hearing squeaks. I'm sure some of the rattles come from the doors not being adjusted correctly. I have the details on how to properly adjust the doors, I haven't been able to do that yet. With the engine/exhaust noise it is not easy to hear the squeaks and rattles, but rolling along slowly you can hear the squeaks/rattles coming from the back. Probably just the coil over shocks? Is there a way to stop shocks from squeaking? I've sprayed rubber lubricant on in the past. Maybe I have to do that routinely? Any ideas/suggestions would be appreciated.

Most likely the control arm bushings. Some spray lube at the pivot points should reduce the squeaking. You can also get a noise from the coil springs "walking" in the spring seats as they compress. As the spring compresses it turns slightly. If the spring seats are binding they will squeak.

If you have an adjustable setup, it is sometimes the air though a little hole that you hear. It is a sort of squeek (not a rattle). By changing the setup by just one click it might solve the problem. That solved it several for others.

I am convinced the arm for the trunk lid is rattling as I ride down the road. I know it makes rattle sounds as I unlock it to shut the trunk. And, thanks for the advice on spraying the bushings. Rattles or not, this is the best ride around.

All I hear is the rumble of my V8 through the Sidepipes!
