Default A little more info would help.

Can you push the rear of the car down and create the squeak?
Does the squeak only occur at slow speeds over speed bumps?
Only from one side or the other?

Most common sqeaks can include anything from the sway bar to the bad shock or springs.

Default Is your roadster a 225 quattro? Sway bar probably needs to be lubed. Do you

have a sway bar with poly bushings like the Neuspeed or is it the stock bar?

It's the sway bars on the front. You can spray some lubricant to alleviate the squeek.

Default If it's the sway bar, the dealer should replace for free >>>

there is an updated version of the sway bar that doesn't have the plastic inserts. the inserts crack over time. I got mine replaced by the dealer for free.
