Dear Derhammer,


May this find you well. If is also "creaks" when going over bumps, I suspect that the shock absorber mounting bolts are a little loose.

They may be accessed by removing the rear wheels. You will see in the 12 o'clock position, a round black rubber plug. If you pry this out, with the tip of a screwdriver - taking care not to tear the rubber - you will see the bolt head. I believe that if you tighten each bolt, the problem will go away.

I ran into this on a used car, with 100K. When going over bumps, etc., it sounded as if there were something rolling around in the load space. Turns out that whoever did the pre-delivery prep to the first owner, didn't tighten the bolts. They're tight now, and the car is quiet.

Hope this helps.

Yours faithfully,

spook
