Squeaking

Hi there,

Two squeaks to diagnose please...

First is in the car - think around headlining / upper trim on passenger side. Sounds like a clip or screw vibrating up and down. There is general noise if you push on the trim around the window passenger side, and the part is loose that runs behind the seatbelt. The car has the full leather roof lining. What's the best way of reducing noise as these parts rub together? Leather conditioner? The sound could also be in the glove box region, but can't locate. Takes non smooth road to recreate.

The other is suspension related I think. This is a squeak when car up to temperature like an old bed crossed with a tsk tsk noise (like you'd make with your tongue) sound if that makes sense. You can also hear this when getting out of the car, engine off. It sounds like from rear driver side. It's hard the arms done several times due to play, and most recent are the Eurospares pattern parts - Part No. 198503 Maserati R.H. REAR LOWER LEVER Condition: Pattern and Part No. 198501 Maserati L.H. REAR LOWER LEVER Condition: Pattern. Could the ball joint be bad..?

It's been checked over some months ago and no issues found - except noted sound from headlining that was fixed... or not.

It could be the hand brake shoes sticking, my Fiat 500 does exactly the same when I get out with the hand brake on

Interesting - it's had the shoes replaced, and a new handbrake cable...

It's the same sound at 30mph over non smooth road through - am thinking it might be something else?
