I have a weird sort of squeak developed on my 2001 3 Ltr Sport s-type. It happens when I go over some gentle quite long speed bumps along my road and tends to be worse when my wife is in the passenger seat.

I have tested the suspension and had the windows open to try and hear the noise outside and am 95% certain that the noise has nothing to do with the suspension but is something inside the vehicle. Could it be the passenger seat mounts need tightening...I would take it into a garage but as usual it would probably not replicate itself for a mechanic..

Any thoughts?

Jaguar S type`s have a lot of trouble with the front antiroll bar bushes, they squeak and rumble on bumpy roads. Jaguar have now changed their design to stop it

Not permanent, but squirt wd40 over the suspension bushes etc, if it stops it, then at least you know where it is emerging from..

My alfa 156 used to squeak (they all do that sir..)A good squirting sorted it out for quite a while.
