Creaking rear suspension

[sssstew]

So i picked up the pog last week and when driving around slow speed ive noticed that the rear suspension seems to creak quite a bit, its running H&R monotube coilovers. Is there anything i can look at to stop the creaking?

Cheers

Rear sway bar bushes may be dry, need a regrease. This happened on mine driving over humps at slow speeds.

Rear shock mounts might be stuffed. They creaked constantly when driving.

I've got some white line sway lube if you don't have any. But any grease should do the job if that's it. Try loosen the mounting bolts and go for a drive. Really depends if you can distinguish if the noise is coming from the strut or not.

Could also be the added stiffness making the rear seats rub and squeak over the strikers and or rubber stoppers.

hmm interesting, it sounds to me like a sort of metallic creak rather than a rubber one.
Seangti - where are you? any chance i could come around maybe to take a look?

Agree with the spraycanman, use Moly grease on the sway bar its soooo common.

I used to work for Whiteline and one of the most common mistakes that people make (even mechanics) is that they grease the outside of the bushes. This can lead to squeaks but I've also seen freshly installed bushes actually come out! Definitely not something you want to happen.
