Squeaking from rear left area when going over bumps

[will_0407]

Whenever I go over a speed bump, or travel over an uneven road, there is a squeaking/rattling noise coming from the rear left of the car. It sounds like it's inside the cabin/car, but I can't work out what it is.

I have black leathers so I thought it could be those rubbing on something if they weren't secure, but they're solid and show so signs of movement when I try and replicate the noise when stationary. I also thought it could be the 'roller' on the left side of the parcel shelf and that's rubber. I don't think it's that either as it doesn't seem like it can generate the sort or amount of noise that I get. I don't think it's the spare tyre, as it doesn't sound like it comes from the base of the boot.

Anyone else experienced this? Strangely enough, I was getting these sorts of noises from my ibiza that also had leathers, although that was the rear right!

Rear spring?

I have heard of these snapping at the bottom, might be worth having a dig around the rear wheel well and seeing what you can see.

Might not be your issue but proves that the springs are prone to failure.

Thanks for your help. Given that mine's a 2012 plate, I'd hope it isn't springs already. It's covered a lot of miles, but they are mostly motorway, although I guess it only takes one bad pot hole to cause havoc! I had a look under the wheel arch but can't see really anything, so guess I'll need to go under the car and take a look.

It's happened on cars as young as yours i believe.
