Welcome to the site! Can you give us a little more information about your problem?

When does it happen? (only when slowing down, around xyz mph, only when hitting bumps, etc)

Where does it sound like it's coming from?

Any more details would be great. It's really hard to tell what your problem might be with out details. Grin

I'd check the springs.  Get someone to bounce on the car while you're next to it.  Insulators still there? lol

If you've the money, pick up shocks/struts/springs/spring isolators, it's bound to be one of those. Also remember that car is going on 20 years old, stuff like that needs replacing to be in tip top shape.

Get some Energy Springs isolators, they're polyurethane instead of old nasty rubber and should last a good long time without squeaking.
