Another annoying sound that became more apparent this past weekend was a loud squeak/creaking from the rear of the GTS. I noticed it from the day I bought it, but figured it was spare parts stuffed in the rear hatch. Unfortunately, it's never gone away.
Yesterday I let my dad drive the Viper for the first time (boy did that ever make his day) and I at-first attempted to lay in the back... Yeah that didn't happen. So then I just sat backwards in the passenger seat and tried to listen to it as we went down a relatively bumpy road here in Ohio.
From the driver's seat it sounds like it's coming from the right rear suspension. From the passenger seat it sounds like it's coming from the left rear suspension! Process of conversion tells us that it's probably coming from the middle, which means it's probably the aftermarket exhaust rubbing on something. I plan on getting underneath it possibly even today to try and find the source. I figured I'd toss this out here first to see if anyone can suggest any likely spots to check first.
Slowly and surely I'm getting my Viper woes solved. Hopefully by Summer's end I'll have it driving like new!!
