    Back suspension squeaks - any advice?

    Don't know if this is common among Cayman S owners but my car's back suspension squeaks when passing over a bumb or a speed limiter.
    Car is from 2006, has 25.000 kms.
    Someone has had the same problem and can it be solved under warranty?
    Thx - German

    It likely the rear hatch that's causing the sound rather than the suspension. I heard this a few moments after taken delivery! There is a weight in the hatch as well as rubber stops that result in the problem. My dealer installed a fix for the hatch and it did alleviate the problem.

    It's not the hatch, it comes clearly from the back but underneath the car.
    I'll check tomorrow at the dealer.
    Thx

    noise came from the hatch indeed so you were right on DaveC. Dealer lubricated the rubber edges and noise was gone, so all good news.

    Glad they could fix it. It's a very common problem on the 06 Caymans. When I first heard the "thunk" I also thought it was a spring/shock hitting bottom.
