Seven years after the infamous front suspension creaking noises thread, I have developed a new creak! Sounds like creaky hinges on an old door
I should make an audio/video clip and post up, but to summarise -
- Sound is at the rear of the car
- Originally I suspected my aftermarket cage (fitted many years ago) but why would the creak suddenly start now if it was related to that?
- Cold/warm car doesn't matter, the noise is there from the off
- Roads don't need to be particularly bumpy to hear the creaking noises
- It seems to have been getting louder over time, I must have first noticed a faint noise a couple of months ago, which has steadily got louder over time
- Seems to be audible inside the car only - I had the missus drive the car up and down the driveway slowly and walked after the car, she could hear the noise inside, but I couldn't hear anything on the outside (maybe the engine/exhaust noise drowns out the exterior noise...)
- Today I went out on a drive and the noise was there, then suddenly it vanished while I was driving down a mildly bumpy road - but then a couple miles later the noise reappeared
I'm stumped
:dont know:
Any ideas what it might be? Taking the car to see someone locally tomorrow to hopefully diagnose the issue
