I've been noticing on take off I hear a little squeak or chirp come rear of the car. I don't believe we have a limited slip, so maybe it's the shocks? It does it on a normal slow takeoff.

Once the car is warmed up I don't hear it- that's the odd thing (if it is suspension related).


PS OT but my seat heater on my driver's side doesn't work. Apparently this malfunction is common. Does anyone know what exactly goes in them that make them stop working. Is it something I could order the part for and do myself? Is it worth paying a dealer to fix it- considering it could go bad again and there are very few days cold enough that I'd use it consistently. Thanks in advance everyone!
