Creeking In The Rear.

[Neixy]

G'day all.

Over a year ago my BF xr6 ute was lowered at

A Pedders suspension store,

Front and rears, around 6 months after it, it began

To creek in the rear upon throttle or rolling then braking,

It comes and goes as it pleases,

They've been unhelpful (Pedders) as they always

Say there booked out when I go in.

So ill hit it on the head my self

It's a horrible noise

Generally in the rain it goes away but sure does come back!

Thanks for any help provided

Sounds like bushes.

Do you notice it when reversing straight back or when you reverse and turn?

[Neixy]

Any moving motion from standstill to throttle creaks

Breaking at lights the last movement of the at before it stops

It creaks,

I suspected bushes but which ones is the question

Both of your questions I would say it creaks

100% positive on straight back

I assume it does the same whilst turning?

Since it dies it when I turn in a forward motion

Where abouts are you located?

There are some smart suspension cookies over in Western Sydney......

I had the creak in my BF ute, tightened the nuts on the front of the leaf spring where it meets the chassis and tt went away for a while. Then came back. If it's the same issue I sorted it by putting a washer under the nut and tightened it up with a rattle gun, never creaked again. There's a thread around somewhere about it.

does it creak when you bounce in the back of the tray?

for eg, fold the tailgate out, and push down on it. and bounce the rear up and down

It's probably the leaf springs rubbing. Spray the sh*t out of them with wd40 and see if it goes away.

Thanks rowdy! Ill look into it ill chuck it on the hoist tommorow arvo,

Freaky - doesn't creek when doing that so that should rule out shockers correct?

Pauly - I also tried that to no avail :-/
