I get a squeaking from the driver's side rear, but when it's hot.

But Chris, you were sitting on THAT side.:rolleyes:
LOL. Could be. My car is telling me it's time to lose a few pounds :D

Seriously, though, when the "creak" gets going after it's warm, there can be nobody in the car, and you can hear it if you push down on the fender. Something under there is noisy, dunno what it is. Like a creak/groan/pop kind of sound. Might be those subframe bolts everybody says cause this problem, I should get them checked. Hard to get to without a lift. It only does it when the car is warm and you've been driving for awhile.

This may be a good excuse to get my two free cats at the dealer...they just sent me TSB saying the cats on the 1999-2002 cars are defective somehow and they will warranty replacement until 2011 or 100k. I will try and blame the popping on the cats and see if they fall for it. Then after that's done, I'll fix whatever's really the problem...hehehe

I found a really effective DYI solution. Turn the radio up to "made in Japan" and the squeak goes away!:D
LOL!

Yup, that's usually what I do too...when you crank up the radio, the creaking mysteriously goes away... :rotfl:
