First (By far the most annoying and the one that has been there the longest)

while drive forward or backwards, there is a squeaking sound coming from, I think the rear.

when I am going slow, there is a longer interval between the squeaks, when i am going faster the squeaks are faster.

however when I brake the squeak is almost gone.

I had a look at the brakes and everything seems to be normal
Has anyone else had a similar problem? if so what was it?


Second (only recently)

when ever I go over a big bump or when I am going into my driveway I hear a squeak from the fron of the car. I think it is my front right wheel. I have recently lowered my car and I cant figure out what it could be.
any thoughts?

Cheers

hey mate. yeah i think i know what the problem could be. in regards to the first problem, there could be a mouse at the back of your car that keeps squeeking. for the second part of your problem, it sounds like theres a mouse in the front aswell.

Sway bar "d" bushes have no lubrication? - that was the problem in my EF. Replaced *every* other bush.... then realised.

Can also be shock absorber, or bushes.

The noise in the rear could be pad knock. Are the calipers fully retracting when the brakes are off? Could just be the edge of the pad making contact with the disc.
Front noise could be a sway bar or lower control arm bush.

Rear could be your hand brake shoe...might need readjustment or removed and checked...could also be your rear caliper having slight movements...have another squizz and make sure the retaining bolts are tight.

Not too sure on the front.
