This is honestly getting old, as it seems every other week I am posting about some noise. A couple weeks ago I figured out my clunk sound coming from the suspension - loose bolt on front swaybar mount that bolts to chassis. NOW, I have a noise that is getting progressively worse from the rear.

The best I can describe it is it sounds like a really old haunted house door slowly opening. It's that type of a creak sound. I'm assuming it is the rear suspension as the exhaust mounts all seem fine. It does get worse as the car is driven longer - not sure if it has to do with heat or not.

Only mods I have are Eibach Pro-Kit springs and Tokico D-Spec shocks. The swaybar is factory. One guy told me to spray a little lube on the swaybar bushings - I did this and they are not it. When I fold the rear seats down the noise is almost unbearable.

Any ideas?? I re-checked the torque on all bolts from the suspension install and it's all good.

 

Does it only make noise when you hit a bump, go around a corner, or is it a constant creaking?

 

I got the same thing.
Sounds like its in the DS seat or under one of the seats in the rear.
Also my lumbar support quite working, I wonder if it is something loose in that.....

 

Do you have your spare still in the trunk? Check and see if something is loose in there. Other than that, I would know without being there.

 

To answer a couple questions...

It does it real loud when doing a hard left turn, when angling into a driveway slowly and does it a little quieter when hitting small regular bumps and imperfections crusiing straight down the road.

I did check the spare and everything is solid. Does not seem to be associated with the spare.

 

My spare is locked down tight.
I typically crank the radio so I cannot hear it.
I will pay attention.
I also have the 'singing' rearend.

 

I think there is a TSB on this......something about the clutch in the rear axel going out? not sure though

 

Does it happen regardless of type of weather (warm or cold days, rainy, etc.)? I get all kinds of creaks, but when the weather is warmer they seem to be non-existent.

 

So far the weather has been a little on the cool side. This has been going on for the past couple weeks. It does get worse the longer I drive the car. 1st thing in the morning it is quite.

 

One word WARRANTY....use it while its still good and it costs you nothing. Bring it in!

Should be covered under warranty. Had the work done on mine in December, and the noise is completely gone now.

 

Exactly -its a TSB issue..... I need to have this taken care of myself....
