Some noises Options

[phokur]

Ok noise #1: I hear a faint rattling coming from the rear, I already did the spacing out the rubber bumper on the hatch trick(could be the wiper?)
#2: A deep thumping when I hit bumps, sounds from the lower rear of the car, (loose spare tire?)
#3: When I am driving, doesn't seem to have a pattern, I hear a brief squeeling. Sounds kinda like a pulley slipping. Also every time it's happened I've had the vent on but not the AC, not sure if it has something to do with it.

Well if you have any ideas about any of these, please let me know. They are driving me nuts.
Thanks!

wheel bearing?

[phokur]

hmm not sure, wheel bearings usually make the noise when you start moving don't they? This has always happened when I am going 60-70mph, and it's really short. Like squeezing a chipmonk...

Thanks for the reply though! Anybody have any other leads?

squeeling = usually a belt
thumping = bearing or link

^ agree

its probaly your rear links or bushings...and I would say since our cars have manual tensioners, and you said it was when your vent was on try to tighted your a/c comp. belt if not just try the others there are only a few so should not be hard to do. they tend to get loose every once in awhile.
