Mine creaks like a galleon in a stiff breeze... has been suggested that it might be the rear door seals rubbing :-\
That said, the suspension is as polybushed as it can be :-X

It was definately the pas side door area when I was in it. Silicon spray around the door rubbers? :-\

I was considering that too, RS. But prying should reveal faulty donuts  :-\

As I found a problem I.e. The leaking shocks I'll address this first  :y

Keep us updated mate  :y

Hi mate. Just thought I'd let you know that I had the rear axle bushes replaced and the handling has improved noticeably.

In the short mileage that I've driven it since, I would say so yes.

Brilliant.... axle bushes.... are we still talking about the donut bushes that fit between the body and subframe?
