Creaking left rear suspension

Post by etd »

I have a 2006 Vibe Base Model. I had a problem with the left rear suspension bottoming out. The dealer replaced both of my rear shocks. However, the left rear suspension still creaks a lot. Is this a spring problem? Is this a mount problem? Is this a bushing problem? My last car had the bushing problem, and it was fixed easily with cleaning and new grease.Thanks for your help!

Could be a loose sway bar bolt. Those suckers need to be cranked.

Creaking left rear suspension fixed

I finally got the creaking left rear suspension problem fixed. It turns out the bolts were loose on the rear suspension control arm.I tried 2 Pontiac dealers first, and neither could fix this problem. The problem was finally fixed by a Toyota dealer.
