Default There is a squeek

Hi,

I have a 1999.5 Audi A4 Quattro that developed a squeek on the rear passenger side. Any ideas what it could be? I'd like to have a little bit of an idea before I take it to the garage to have it taken care of. Also, any ideas on how much making the squeek go away might cost. I apologize for the vagueness, I don't know much about cars, yet.

Thank you.

I had a squeak over bumps and it turned out to be an exhaust hanger rubbing against the exhaust. It had detached from the exhaust, so I removed it and the squeak was gone.

funny thing is I kicked my exhaust and it made the same squeak as it did over bumps. That's what tipped me off.

Thanks, everyone. It's a something that's a little dry (I know, very vague, I can't remember what they said it was). At my garage they said it wasn't that big of a deal. Thanks, again!
