Rear Suspension Creaking
 

Does anyone else have a rear suspension that constantly creaks as the shocks move up and down? Is this a bushing problem and will new bushings quiet the suspension or is this something that you just have to live with. When I first heard this I though the suspension was going to remove itself from the car.

When I first got my FD the rear suspension was noisy, and as it turned out there were worn bushings and some other parts that needed replacement. Typically if it's a clunking noise, either you've got bad bushings or something's come loose and needs retightening. The noise mine made was more of a clunk or a thud rather than creaking, so it could be something completely different.

i have a '93 with 139k miles with a noisy suspension. A mechanic told me that i would have to replace the bushings.
