Hi, I have a 2009 c5 2ltr vtr+nav. Had it about 3yrs now. About 10 mths ago started with this really annoying squeak under front right of the car, sounds like an angry mouse, today decided I was going to get to the bottom of this so armed with my tin of silicone spray I sprayed virtually anything i thought could make the noise, strut end, suspension arms engine mountings all to no avail. Is there anyone out there that can stop me going insane!!! Thanks

Did you spray the two bearings on the antiroll bar? I've had those go noisy on previous cars. You may have to remove the undertray to reach them.

Have you checked if it is coming from one of the auxiliary or timing belt pulleys ? Is it road speed or engine speed related ? Can you get the noise if you bounce the corner of the car up and down without the engine running ? If so then it could be one of the suspension arm pivot bushes or the swivel ball joints. If not then possibly brake related and the brakes may need cleaning.

Thanks for your reply guys, it's definitely connected with car movement rather than engine movement. Go over uneven road and it starts no noise on smooth roads. I will strip back any other potential joints, bushes, bearings etc and give them a squirt. Thanks again and any other suggestions welcome

Anti roll bar drop links when worn can be noisy over bumps. On our previous C3 they made a knocking noise. To test yours you could undo one end. If you put wd40 or similar into a ball joint that has grease in it, then the grease will be washed out and the joint will wear quickly unless you put some grease back in later.
