Sqeaking noise finally fixed!!

I've complained about this problem for some time now...and it always tend to occur on bumpy surfaces and always under acceleration. I've brought it into the dealership for a total of 5 times.
  • 1st time they can't replicate the noise.
  • 2nd time they finally noticed the sound. Said it's the front right strut, and tightened some stuff and sent me on the way. (didn't fix it)
  • 3rd time they replaced the strut bearing, since the sound seems to be coming from the front right strut area
  • 4th time they replaced the whole strut assembly and lubed all sorts of stuff. Still no-go.
  • 5th time (actually the continuation of the 4th time since they kept the car) and they finally put some electric ears in the car and found that the sound was coming from the front right engine mount.

They found that one of the bolts on the engine mount was not torqued correctly. Torqued it to spec and the noise went away.

I'm not complaining about the dealership at all...as a matter of fact, I want to praise them for being so patient and diligent on trying to fix my problem.

Now I can go up hills without my car going "squeak squeak..." hehe
