Default Squeak (pop) when starting off

Wondering if anyone else sometimes experiences a squeaking sound when first starting the car moving? It's especially noticeable when it's cold. I assume it's a bushing somewhere, and it sounds like the rear. I was hoping that if someone else had experienced this, they'd know what the culprit was and save me some time trying to find it.

in really cold climates...your brake pads can actually freeze to the rotors. once you start moving the bond is broken. the same type of bonding can happen if there is a lot of rust on the rotor too. again, once you start moving, everything breaks free. as long as the squeaking goes away there shouldnt be a problem. every once in a while, you can hear your anti-lock brake mechanisem grind when backing out...this is normal too (read about it in your owners manual) hope this helped

Nah, it's not that, but good call. It's right after I start moving, it's definately suspension shifting. I guess I was wondering if there's a particular bushing that notorious for going bad.

My Z does this in the cold mornings. I was starting to get worried. Thanks.
