Rear left creaks? *sorted*

[Argenta]

Anybody have a good guess what's usually causing creaks coming from rear left, say when changing from reverse and turning in a garage, flat floor..? So the noise doesn't need bumps, which I guess excludes shock mounts etc.

Creaks generally come from rubber ( dry) I am a big advocate of liberally spraying regularly - at least once a year anything rubber on the car with silicon spray. mounts, bushes, seals etc - you will be amazed how much quieter your car will become!

It sounds more "structural" than creaks from rubber bushings, I must say. More metallic.

My rear left creeks too. But that's arthritis. :wink:

Have you checked the spring is not broken?

Haha!
Yeah I have KW V3 and the springs seem ok.
What does bad diff bushes sound like? May be more "clonking"..?

Ok Buzyg it was actually related to the left spring..
Lots of sand/gravel had gotten in between the spring rubber seat, from last sundays trackday (don’t ask..)
All fixed!
Amazed some sand/gravel could cause that much noise...
