Kinda says it in the title; every time the car goes over any kind of bump its making a huge squeak, never done it before. It's not been lowered or anything, any ideas?

It will probably be your axle that's away. You got camber on the back wheels?

Or ARB bolts come loose.

Ill have a look in the light, why do things only happen after other people drive your car. -.-

If you aren't sure, you could post a picture for others to see and maybe rule certain things. Hopefully it won't be anything too bad :)

it might be your antiroll bar coming loose, or the bolt coming loose
whatever you do, dont break that bolt! they snap so easily. Get some high tensile ones if you are going to replace them

Mine does the same thing, only when going over bumps though.

My axle has no play so I am guessing mine is a bolt needs tightening somewhere.

Will have a look on Thursday.

Bushings do this too when needing replacing don't they?

My money would probably be on the arb bolts too, doesnt take 2 minutes to check and theres a guide on here somewhere so i'd do that first.
