Thread: Body/Suspension Creak

Its annoying the **** out of me.

Can't see or feel any loose suspension components.
It sound like its in the body.

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Shock absorber?

It will more than likely be suspension.
Anti roll bar bushes or arms.

Déjàvu I just posted same noise issue groan especially in tight car park manoeuvres. Will replace roll bar bushes and links shortly as starting point.

I was lowered in an underground car park and it gave real loud groan today gave me a fright.

I just had a scary situation come up with my 16.5

Had it in at Autocode Perth for a tune and EGR delete. While it was in there I asked for a minor service to be performed.

Anyway while inspecting, they found that the right rear Toe-Link bolt was partially out, and bent. If it had come fully out it could have been catastrophic with no toe control on that wheel.

Now fixed, the deflection when braking or accelerating in motion is gone. Also the clunk entering my driveway is gone, and the car is now tracking true on the freeway

Phew!

Recently wheel aligned by chance?
Those bolts should IMO be replaced when adjustments are made.

Not uncommon for these to fail. I used to carry a spare and replaced them at one stage as preventative maintenance.
