mattgtt Posted March 12, 2009 Posted March 12, 2009 hay! over the last couple there has been what i can describe as a sort of creeky/squeaky sound coming from the rear of the car had it up at work check torquing every nut and bolt i can find at the rear and still does it!! i can also hear it when i open the boot and push up and down and i have no idea what it could be! if anyone has had this before or has any sugestions what it could be that would be tops! thanks!

RicoW Posted March 12, 2009 Posted March 12, 2009 do you have any aftermarket mods on the rear? like a Adjustable pan hard rod or something like that?they need to be greased when mounting them if you don't it sounds squaky...but could also be a rear shock that is gone leaking... Quote
mattgtt Posted March 12, 2009 Author Posted March 12, 2009 hay yer got an adjustable panhard rod but was well greased when fitting! its really quite a loud sound! do shocks squeak when they fail!? Quote
RicoW Posted March 12, 2009 Posted March 12, 2009 did u greas all the bushes?and yes they can squeak knock or something else Quote
mattgtt Posted March 12, 2009 Author Posted March 12, 2009 yer the whole bush inside out because was bit of a tight fit! had a look at the shocks and 1 side has a very small amount of fluid on! maybe this?? Quote
RobSR Posted March 12, 2009 Posted March 12, 2009 sure it isn't just the boot rattling around. makes quite a bit of noise. Quote
mattgtt Posted March 12, 2009 Author Posted March 12, 2009 im 100% sure its not boot mate cheers tho Quote
Bourkey Posted March 12, 2009 Posted March 12, 2009 My car squeeks and makes lots of noises. I floor it when it annoys me so i can't hear it .Bourkey Quote
mattgtt Posted March 12, 2009 Author Posted March 12, 2009 lol bit of a costly way but if it works might give it a go might try new shocks 1st! Quote
Bourkey Posted March 12, 2009 Posted March 12, 2009 Only drive it at the weekends now so i don't mind . My rear arb squeeks and the car rattles like a rally car going past. Don't mind though as it drives mint .Bourkey Quote
mattgtt Posted March 12, 2009 Author Posted March 12, 2009 lol well i potter to and from work and living miles away from the airport it gets on my tits quite a bit lol! Quote
Bourkey Posted March 12, 2009 Posted March 12, 2009 On the way to and from work im in...........wait for it.............a Corsa . 1.2 8v worth of pure power. It doesn't make a sound and doesn't rattle like mine .Bourkey Quote
mattgtt Posted March 12, 2009 Author Posted March 12, 2009 yer its a good idea saves rackin up mileage on the starbo! lookin at gettin a work runner! Quote
Bourkey Posted March 12, 2009 Posted March 12, 2009 The sensible thing to do now would be to strip the SR as i have my own house now but it is just too much fun. I love the rattles and the annoying things about it. The Corsa is my girlfriends so i don't even drive. It's like a free taxi . So put up with the noises unless they are dangerous obviously .

Lee_EP82 Posted March 12, 2009 Posted March 12, 2009 Dud i got the same symptoms and its my panhard rod, just being arsed to get it on the ramp at work and lube it up abit more. Quote
mattgtt Posted March 12, 2009 Author Posted March 12, 2009 yer i might ask my lady very nicely if i could use her car as she dont use it lol Quote
mattgtt Posted March 12, 2009 Author Posted March 12, 2009 its a gold micra vibe think she will be the 1 payin me to drive that thing! lolyer thanks lee i might give that a go mate jus looked at the chasis end of the rod and its caked in grease but if it wants more, more it will get!! Quote
Bourkey Posted March 12, 2009 Posted March 12, 2009 A gold Micra. Oh the joy .The panard rod my be caked in grease but if it isn't in the right place it may as well not have any one at all .Bourkey Quote
mattgtt Posted March 12, 2009 Author Posted March 12, 2009 yer i know what your sayin! but the grease is in and on the sides of the bush were it moves! might sneak it in the hanger at work take it off and re lube it! Quote
Bourkey Posted March 12, 2009 Posted March 12, 2009 Personally i'd dry it up to make squeek more . The more noise the better .Bourkey Quote
