NAME YOUR ANNOYING RATTELS AND HOW YOU FIXED IT

miner are
-the center dash round the top and cd player (top clip broken out needs some glue or somthing )
-wiggley auto gear stick (one of fords great added features)
-something under the electric seat that ticks every time i hit a bump (unsure)
-exhaust hitting the rear bar (really annoying just to lazy to do anythink)
- seat belt clip rattels (were series 1 bolts different to the series 2-3 by any chance)
-really weird whining noise from the rear left wheel (i think its from when i hit a gutter sideways hard and bent axel replaced it twice noise is still there really bad just after breaking and going slow)

Driver side inside door "panel" (skin?). Think there's a clip missing to hold the panel around the central locking mechanism area. Bloody annoying. Not fixed yet. I'm worried if I pull the other side off to check what's missing that I might then have the problem in stereo...

good lord, got another one....

Well, the rear right wheel still has the slightly louder clanging noise over light bumps which im guessing is probably stuffed lower control arm bushes.

Now after getting the car back on the road, done alot of driving today to use up what fuel was left in the tank and refill with fresh stuff, later on in the afternoon ive noticed a squeek in the rear left wheel, it speeds up and slow downs with the speed of the car, the slower you go the louder it is.

Since its squeak.. squeak... squeak im guessing its not the bearings as afaik that would make a constant noise, cant be tyres as there practically brand new, and has only started today, any suggestions?

I thought it may have been because of all the driving, rotors have warmed up and expanded and may now be coming in contact with the handbreak. But i did a few low speed pulls on the handbreak forward and in reverse as ive heard it usually helps with handbreak squeals, didnt really work, thought it sounded a little quieter but im not too sure, but dunno if its that as my handbreak doesnt work too good as it needs adjusting.

Im gunna jack the car up tomorow morning and have a look around to see if i can see anything..

Any suggestion would be very grateful, im just about fed up with this car after finding out its a repairable write off, i fix one thing then another problems decides to pop up!
Cars got 149000 k's on it so i guess i should expect wear and tear..
Please help!

my steering wheel sometimes makes a creaking sound at low speed when I turn, for example when i slow right down and turn into my driveway. can't hear the creaking outside the car, only inside coming from the steering wheel/shaft. is there a way to lube it or something?
