Squeeking under load?

[MaxHarvard]

The weirdest gall dang thing is happening to my car.

I start it up... fine, timing is good, oil pressure good..etc...

Well, I have only done 2 recent things to it, Upper and lower control arm bushings, and new rubber hood stops.

I will pull it out of gear, and into reverse... then i hear this faint low level squeek, kinda sounds like a low WOMP WOMP... coming from the from the engine area, as it sounds.

It makes that noise worse when the engine is cold. Does sound worse in reverse and less in forward gear. After it warms up, the noise is almost gone completely.

THOUGHTS?!?!?! I"m killing myself trying to figure this out... timing is spot on... plugs are good.. HELP! :(

Does it happen when you're moving only, or even when you're in gear and not moving? Vacuum leak maybe?

It only does it when the engine is cold, and i'm idling, in gear.

If any of these conditions changes, its just fine... warm or driving or in neutral.... just fine.

just outta stupidity and throwing something out, u said u changed just the control arms and hood bumpers, maybe the rubber isnt broken in yet and the vibration from the engine is causeing noise to come out of the hood stoppers. Does the noise still exist with the hood open? is the noise present when moving or siting still only or both?

It happens with the hood open and only when stationary, when driving i dont hear it.
