Abo Bob Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 I've got the same thing. I think maybe shockies are stuffed or bushes are worn. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/78176-what-the-heck-is-this-creakin-sound/#findComment-1428162 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommyk Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 I think it has something to do with the colder weather ? The shocks/bushes are cold and thus making creaking noises ? Perhaps im wrong ?

Yep mine too, only started the past few freezing days. Steerings gone a little bit heavier too, or maybe just my imagination...

maccattack Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 Had a slight creak in mine when I took off from stop. Apart from replacing a CV in the front (which I don't think was the cause), the guys tightened up all of my suspension and cross members - creaking noise is gone. Probably just contraction from the cold allowing a little more give than usual in the suspension.

z3n2k Posted June 26, 2005 Share Posted June 26, 2005 seems strange but i have the exact same issue.. mornings it creaks but after like a 30 - 40 min drive it stops most of the time. had the brushes replaced and this stopped it for a small amount of time. but i think it is the shocks that have worn on mine. replacing them soon anyways Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/78176-what-the-heck-is-this-creakin-sound/#findComment-1430681 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baz Posted June 26, 2005 Share Posted June 26, 2005 Just tightned all your underbody chassis bolts up. That should fix it. And cover the bolts in WD lube or synthetic grease.

Topaz Posted June 26, 2005 Share Posted June 26, 2005 my car has creaaaaking all over, coz the suspension is rock hard (and the chassis comapred to my old TX3) it feels really stiff, especially around the rear shocks, for me anyway....

gtst1976 Posted June 26, 2005 Share Posted June 26, 2005 i noticed mine doing it the other night too.

djhatton Posted July 1, 2005 Share Posted July 1, 2005 my car squeaks when you change direction mainly... i.e. when you pop her in reverse it makes a little creaking noise and then back to forward gears. my suspension guru in canberra is part genius, and he reckons its just the bushes/mounts doing their thing and theres nothing to worry about. and on that note, my bilstein/eibach suspension is slowly shaking my car to pieces. my boot rattles horribly (not stereo induced) and half my interior squeaks, rattles and carries on. not looking forward to the day i actually pull it all to bits and fix it... d Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/78176-what-the-heck-is-this-creakin-sound/#findComment-1441368 Share on other sites More sharing options...
