This is driving me mad! anyone else had similar as can't seem to sort it! Nothing major but just annoying!
I've got an annoying creak from the rear left wheel area. Mainly when the car 'Yaws' i.e. going round corner and sometimes speed bumps. Not really noticible when just going over normal bumps. Driving onto my drive up the slope at an angle shows it up the most. I really thought it was something to do with the anti roll bar as that would move when the car twists.
I thought it was the shock/strut so got both of them changed. Still the same.
I changed the arb drop link myself. Still the same.
I Undid the rear pair of anti roll bar bushes, greased under them and made sure back tight. Still the same.
Sprayed WD40 on all the boot adjustment rods/hindges/springs. Still the same.
Greased all the bearings underneath and sprayed all the joints I can see. Still the same.
Could it be the actual chassis?
There is a vertical circular flat damper type of thing (technical term) just forward of the front of the rear wheel arch that is sunk into the floor pan. An arm joins this but not sure what it is? could it be that?
Been an expensive 'guessing game' so far so any ideas guys. It's only done 36K so shouldn't be making noises at that mileage.
It's been in my local garage also and they didn't seem to know! They look at you like you are daft, do I really need to put up with it? Bit determined now!
The OEM pair of rear shocks are for sale btw
