Hey guys

I'm at 140k miles and I'm starting to hear some noise from the rear suspension. The shocks and springs were replaced earlier this year. When I jounce the car on the left hand side, there is a loud creaking noise coming from somewhere behind the driver's side rear brake rotor. Nothing from the left side. Has anyone had similar symptoms?

I have a small noise, but it is the splash shield vibrating. I would check that or a bad rear shock mount? Did you change out the mounts with the suspension?

Sometimes the dust shields get bent up when people do not pay attention to what they are doing. Take a look--it may be rubbing.

Not the dust shield. I checked.

Rear shock mount was replaced with new a Bilstein HD and Eibach spring

I'll dig up my chassis ears if I have to.... [headbang]

I get squeaking over bumps ... Still don't know what it is
