Squeaking Sound under 2010 CRV [Solved]

greenem · Jun 30, 2020

I have a CRV 2010 with around 170,000kms on it. There is this squeaking noise coming from under the car (not from the engine bay) near the driveshaft area when idling at 500RPM's

I took it to a couple mechanics to check the driveshaft but they said that "nothing is wrong with it"

Here are a few videos that has the sound:

The squeak is starting to happen when I'm in park. Any ideas?

It might be the heat shields on the exhaust. Those can have all sorts of rattles and squeaks as they rust out.

Does the noise change with acceleration or engine rev?

The squeak goes away when RPM's are at or above 800. Also, when it changes gears between 2nd to 1st there is a series of small squeaks. I checked the transmission fluid and the red is vibrant.

I'll see if I can get a video of the squeaking while shifting

It completely stops when at higher speeds/RPM's

So, I took it to a muffler and transmission place. They found the source of the sound! It was a series of spring mounts for the exhaust that were rusted. The highlighted numbers are the parts that needs to be replaced

I might crawl under there, spray with PB Blaster, hit 'em with a hammer, repeat.
