Default Would this be my traction bar?

Quick question, because I'm pretty sure it is. At slow speeds, going over bumps or turning somethings, I get a squeak from my front end. I think it's the heim joints on the Innovative traction bar. It isn't really loud and it only happens when I'm moving slow <10 mph. When I'm crusing I never hear it.

If you think it's not my traction bar, what else could it be? I've heard the joints on these tend to squeak.

Also, it will squeak when I sit down in the car sometimes. Again, traction bar?

Additionally, I am about to replace my suspension (new coilovers) but I don't think it's my shocks/springs.

This could be the bushings if you have aftermarket ones installed.

It's a STD hatch. It's all stock up there except my traction bar. No new bushings or bars, but a new sound here recently.

Just to follow up, I don't think it has a swap bar. Almost positive it has none actually. But again, I haven't been under there since Blue's Clues was cool.

I did some thinking. It may be the exhaust adapter I made. It sort of set the B-pipe in a little bit of a weird spot. Maybe it's those rubber exhaust holders moving around and making the noise?

But why would I hear it when I sit down in the car? I'll look in my suspension eventually, just to make sure nothing crawled in there and died on me. I drive this car so rarely now.

get someone to sit down in the car over and over and try to pinpoint it.

As weird as it sounds, I am going to try this when I get some free time. I really think it may be my exhaust hangers just squeaking. At least, I hope it is. haha.
