Creakkkk!

[buckets]

hey guys,

in the past wk or so, my rear suspension has developed a pretty loud creaking noise.

after some inspecting, i found that the rubber boot surrounding the shock absorber is pretty much shredded. moreso on one side than the other. it also seems to not creak when i drive in the rain. would it be my shock absorbers?

it mainly happens whilst going over bumps. like when entering a drive way, its a slow squeak.

is there something that i can lube up my shock absorbers with? just to eliminate if thats what the cause.

if anyone else has a different idea of what it could be then pls post to me.

thanks guys

Callum

hey mate join the club,i dont know what's wrong with your shocks or springs...

i got a same problem as you facing,i took my car to the pedders in prospect area in adelaide..anyways they checked and found my cars spring not sitting right and rubbing against the body and making noise on every hump and bump...

so try to book with some suspension workshop or pedders and they will find the source of these noises...hope its helps.

A creaking noise would generally be a stuffed bush - there is one at the end of each suspension arm. much as I hate suggesting it, pedders could help identify the stuffed bush (then get it fixed elsewhere )
