creaking......

Post by Su Bullock »

When I pull up at traffic lights and either hold the car on clutch or handbrake, the car itself makes a creaking noise ( a bit like a creaky door). It sounds as if it's dropping. Could it be my rear leaf springs which have already sagged or my rear shocks or something?

brakes?

Sounds like the handbrake might be binding.... or maybe the front discs?

Does it creak the same way if the car is sationary and you bounce it around? If it doesn't then it probably isn't the suspension.

no creak when you bounce it around....

the garage say the rear shocks are fine but my leaf springs are starting to straighten out (they've been like that since I had the car but it's never creaked before). Must admit, it's worse with the handbrake on.......?!
