Car Creaking

[GCC GTR]

I have an r33 gtr and when ever i go up a driveway or approach anything on an agle really, the whole car creaks. Is this my chassis flexing cos i thought the gtr would be quite stiff or could it be just the age of the car?

Neither, they are a very stiff chassis. You can actually lift 3 wheels off the ground just by jacking one corner at the front! Id say it will be worn out suspension bushes. Check the castor rod buses at the front. Could be any though..

Check around all the seam welds.They dont usually come undone on gtr as much.My sons 180 was creaking the same way when he went up any thing on an angle.He has all new suspension bushes etc.The seam welds where coming apart all over.Very commen in the 180.In the process of seam welding now.

I think the springs sit in a rubber dampner, maybe there worn also?
