Hi all.
Pointers needed as to the cause of the noise from rear of car. I suspect it is the suspension.
Noise getting on my nerves. Tried turning up the radio. Still hear it
Help please

Re: Suspect squeaky rear suspension
You haven't really described the noise or the conditions that cause the noise. It could be anything

Re: Suspect squeaky rear suspension
Sorry.
Sounds like a squeak.only when you push the back end of car down.which I thought it was the shocks.
Is there anything else that would cause the noise

Re: Suspect squeaky rear suspension
A seized ball joint my guess but in order to find out you would need to identify which joint is the problem. You get the squeak from moving parts not moving so well.

Shocks/ axle pivot bearings/ bushes/ mountings/ even the tyre rubbing on inner wheelarch.
Can you get some one to narrow it down a bit?

Just changed the axle. No more squeak. £225 later Mrs now happy.
Need to find out the torque settings on the wheel hub nut.
Thanks
