Less sprouts ;D ;D

tell her to get out.. ;) ;D

Watching this one... I've got the same ::) ::)
-
I know my Chavalier used to get it, went away when I changed the rear shocks. Turned out the rubber bush at the bottom was turning causing a low down creaky kind of noise.

Yeah me too :y :y
-
shocks and springs ok? the spring can break at the top/bottom such that its visually not obvious.
or rear subframe bushes?
-
New springs fitted... That's when the noise started! I think it's the spring rubbing on the rubber cups :-/ :-/
-
I have this creaking type noise aswell on occassion especially when dry , improves when wet. Sprayed last saturday all rubber bushes at the back with Silicone spray (available at B&Q)and it appears the noise has gone or is very much reduced...hope this is of some help

I thought it involved hitting something?

According to TIS you have to remove the rear seat cushion
"Bend the sheet metal of lower floor pan in the area of crossmember (receiver for rear seat) with suitable tool (through the first opening in crossmember) downwards (beat out)"
Picture isn't very clear unfortunately :(
-
I posted the fix some while back ... but I'll be damned if I can find it ... :(

That was what I was thinking of - well that is where the creak comes from
-

have experienced two types of creak.
1. Suspension movement related over heavy undulations, esp for instance parking on a steeply sloped car park when reversing over flat then steep ground while turning. This went when changed rear bushes.
2, when driving straight and pulling away. 2or 3 loud cracks, could describe as a creak, but i notice tis calls it a crack. Sounds like its coming from the rear drivers door/seat area so still in the area of the rear donut bush but sounds very much like its inside the car.
I had 1 now gone. Now getting 2.
Does 2 sound like your symptoms Martin?
Cheers.

I've got something clunking that makes me still wonder, first thought was a broken spring but it was not. My clunk is related to moving backwards or forwards, sound comes fron rear right side and can be heard ONLY in two situations: when REVERSING over a bump at very slow speed (when I reverse to my home yard) and when taking the first tight corner to left after I have had the clunk when reversing. So, something is moving, bu twhat can it be? Tried to find play in all possible and impossible locations, can not feel eany exsessive movement in any bushing, shocks, springs, nothing. And the wnoise is quite loud, as if a spring was loose but they are new.
-
have your springs been fitted properly put in the right place sounds like there not seated properly? :y
-
Yes, they are put according to the instructions here and TIS. Also the original ones were ok, in one piece and in right postition. How do I check the anti-roll bar, could it be loose/cracked/anything? No play whatsoever and really very seldom symptom, but you'll know when it will clunk...
