14N Posted November 20, 2013 Posted November 20, 2013 (edited) As per title, I've developed a creaky / squeaky rear end. Apart from Tein springs, the suspension is pretty much OEM as far as I'm aware. It makes the noise noticably when going over speed bumps etc. I'm assuming it's bushes - are there any in particular that I should be targeting/thinking of replacing first?

kbeast35 Posted November 20, 2013 Posted November 20, 2013 i've just this minute pm'd mitz at cougar store with a question regarding similar issues i'll let you know what he comes back with 1 Quote
peteman35 Posted November 20, 2013 Posted November 20, 2013 (edited) I have BC racing coilovers, at first when driving the car in the cold. Thanks to my super bumpy road it does squeak alot. After driving for about a minute it all stops... Guess its just bushes moving around and as its cold they are harder than usual causing them to make funny sounds... My theory anyway Edited November 20, 2013 by peteman35 Quote
marzman Posted November 20, 2013 Posted November 20, 2013 A creaking rear will be your Anti-roll bar end links. Quote
370Ad Posted November 20, 2013 Posted November 20, 2013 Drop links buddy! Cheap fix thankfully! Quote
Ewen@Clark Motorsport Posted November 20, 2013 Posted November 20, 2013 As others have said check for ARB links, we have OEM links plus Whiteline and Powergrid uprated items drop me a PM if I can help Quote
14N Posted November 20, 2013 Author Posted November 20, 2013 Cheers guys. Will have a closer look when I get chance Quote
TomLum Posted November 20, 2013 Posted November 20, 2013 I had the same problem last month. Was the rear drop links easy fix Quote
kbeast35 Posted November 20, 2013 Posted November 20, 2013 Drop links as others have said if it's creaking, I'm going to look at changing the exhaust mounts too as I had a new system fitted quite a bit heavier than my old one, mines more of an annoying squeak though that seems to have appeared since the system was fitted Quote
14N Posted November 20, 2013 Author Posted November 20, 2013 Cool, thanks kbeast. Mine definitely sounds like a tired suspension component rather than a squeaky exhaust. Looks like I'll be replacing the drop links soon then. Quote
samsniss350z Posted November 22, 2013 Posted November 22, 2013 Ian, its the rear drop links for sure, I saw a you tube clip the other day of a Zed that as soon as it moved backwards or forwards was squeaking & creaking like crazy. He replaced the drop links and it was as quiet as a church mouse. I'll see if I can dig out a link for you. 1 Quote
