i have been driving a lot for the past couple of weeks and there was a slight squeaking noise/ chirping noise.
i ignored it as i thought it might be something in the boot because it sounded like it was int the car or just outside the car. here's a link to a video with the exactly same sounding noise
my car makes the sound without hitting a bump
i tried to find a solution but everyone has been telling me different things so i thought i will try here as i always get a good response. i had a mot in January and it passed but the advisory's was
  • Nearside Rear Axle swivel pins and bushes swivel pin and/or bush slightly worn (5.1.2 (b) (i))
  • Offside Rear Axle swivel pins and bushes swivel pin and/or bush slightly worn (5.1.2 (b) (i))
I struggle to find parts for this as i dont know which one to buy. seat leon fr 2017 5f 1.4tsfi
but again i dont want to try it and get it wrong and it still makes a noise
so i need help with:
ideas to fix it
the correct part to fix the bushes and a video if possible to help with the repair

Many thanks
 
You have many rubber bushes and ball joints in your front and rear suspension - each which could cause a noise if worn.
Normally though, bushings and ball joints would create a lower frequency creak - rather than a high pitched squeak.
How many miles have you done?
If your MOT is advising that your rear axle bushings are worn - this would be a good starting point!

The car is on 110,000 miles. I was going to change the bushes but i wanted to make sure it was the part thats making the noise also i cant find the part for it

My rear dampers were shot at 90k miles so if your going to replace your axle bushes - I would also replace your dampers.
