rapidyellowxr6t New Member 16 Member For: 3y 3m 13d Posted 27/04/25 06:40 AM Share Posted 27/04/25 06:40 AM My car has developed a creaking sound in the rear left hand corner of the vehicle only noticeable when accelerating out of a left corner. I just changed out my control blade bushes from the flogged out factory units to the superpro control blade bushes. I also recently just had the tail shaft out of the vehicle to get a new centre bearing and balance. So the only difference to the car is the removal of the blade arms and reinstallation with new poly bushes and the removal of the tail shaft and reinstallation with new centre bearing. I put the car on ramps and tightened the control blade arm bolts up while the suspension was under load and checked my wheel nuts. It does not happen when turning right nor is there any sound coming from the right side of the car. I will be able to put my car on the hoist at work tomorrow to have a proper look but can anyone help with direction for troubleshooting. thanks Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/97405-creaking-noise-coming-from-rear/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im wondering if the new polyurethane bushes are transmitting more sound than what I had in there previously?

k31th less WHY; more WOT Site Developer 29,510 Member For: 17y 1m 12d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 27/04/25 07:21 AM Share Posted 27/04/25 07:21 AM does seem pretty likely that the bushes were slightly incorrectly installed or are just transmitting more NVH than previously...

Apart from doing that I suppose it may just be the different style of bush.
