3d ago Many years ago, I had a weird noise on a 2009 SRT8, at low speed it sounded like rope being pulled tightly over a wooden beam, -strained. Turned out to be a busted cradle bushing in the rear (one out of the four).

2d ago Magnetic inspection light stuck in wheel well after servicing. Not saying I have ever done this... but... maybe? [img alt="

In all seriousness, sway and end link bushes... but also the upper control arm, especially if you have some miles on them.

2h ago Are you sure it's the suspension? My 2014 SRT8 makes noise going over bumps, but it's the rear quarter panels at the bottom. They're not really attached to anything and they flap, kind of, making a thumping noise. It's very annoying

25m ago The sway bar end links can make some weird noises, almost sounds like a bad upper strut mount sometimes or a rattle noise, depending on how bad they are.
