Sneaky Creaky

[equate]

When I got my car a while ago when I sat down in the seat I could hear my back end squeak. I never really thought much of it. But now when I get in my car and start to move I some times hear my back end craking like a boat. I head the same sound in a taxi cab in chicago so Im assuming its a bad thing. Please tell me my suspension is not shot...

My car squeaks, but I know exactly what's wrong. The passenger side sport seat is making the noise, and I have no clue why!

yeah mine does too, but this is definatly from the rear suspension

Rear subframe mounts or rear shock mounts.

easy fix? will it do any damage if I dont fix it soon?

 

[Ryan Stewart]

PITA to fix. I am going to do mine this weekend. I expect it to take me and a friend the whole day, but I am also doing my trailing arm bushings.

I think you can just drop the front of the subframe instead of the whole deal for these.

pita?

You might want to check the supports for the exhaust system. I heard noises coming from my back end and I thought it was the shocks and what-not as well. I took it to get an oil change today and found out the supports used to hold the exhaust system to the car were worn horribly...

...I dunno, just a suggestion.

Rear subframe mounts or rear shock mounts.

I had a noise on a new 330 from the rear shock mounts, Dealer corrected it with some kind of rubber part.

PITA = Pain In The Ashtray if you get my drift.

also to clarify.

The subframe mounts are a bitch. The rear shock mounts are easy, and dirt cheap too. Just go to the dealer and buy the rear shock mounts from the E46/E36 convertible cars. Same basic thing but the bushing is a little better designed. Also buy the curved washer for the top.
