I have an annoying squeak that only can be described as a rodent being abused.
This happens from the moment I start to drive the car to about 5minutes into the journey then it stops completely. It sounds like the front end of the car.
Have done a few tests on the car such as some vigorous shaking to see if its the suspension and nothing happens there (no squeak).
It happens when I change gear, accelerate, and slow down. Can also hear it when I go over speed humps but again this is because I'm slowing down and speeding up.
From what I can tell its something that once warmed (due to driving) ceases to squeak.

Damn it I knew them MouseRoids didn't work....
Really the belt tho ? it doesn't doesnt sound like an alternator belt. It honestly sounds like a suspension squeak (not saying its the suspension).
