From A to Zed Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 Hi all, I've just purchased my 2003 GT in black with alzean leather. I've covered almost 1,000 miles in 10 tens days (London to Wales and London Norwich). The car drives really well, it's a greater cruiser compared to my old 172 cup! The only faluts I can find are the usual skipping bose unit (when cold) but more worringly a strange creak coming from the rear when pulling out of inclined drive ways. It sounds like you are 4 up in a small hatch with torsion bars (I'm only 75kgs before pie jokes start). Has anyone else had this? It's fine when driving, just a slight creak/groan when easing over slopes and cornering? The car is in great condition with 47k on the clock and standard RAYS alloys. Thanks, Matt.

lomoto Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 try lubricating the suspension bushes and antiroll bar mounts with some silicone lubricant, this may help the squeak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GC350z Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 My last Z had this. Took it in for a service. When I got it back it started creaking on hills/inclines/speed ramps. Garage wanted it back to investigate but I said no as I’d already told them what it was. Sold it instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
