Squeeky Rear

[bigrichi 0]

Hi Folks,

Looking for a bit of advice.

Whenever i am getting in or out the C there is sometimes a loud noise....a kind of long squeek or creak. it really is starting to do my head in. seems to have got worse since the weather has got a bit better.

 

I am thinking either a dry bush :lol: or replacement bushes needed.

 

The struts and springs etc arent too old, the standard stuff was replaced with a Bilstein kit approx 30k miles ago.

 

Any ideas as i'd like to try and get it sorted whilst the weather is half decent and not too many jokes about being a Lard A**e :nuts:

 

cheers

Does it do it when your driving ? or do you only notice it when your board her ?

could it be your top mounts are making the noise,try a squirt of silicone spray,it does help quieten them

I have the exact same thing on the drivers side rear of my passat.....and I know the axle bushings on that are on their last legs....so I suspected them being the cause too! :|

yeah, only really notice it when getting in and out.

 

Excuse the dumb dumb but question where is the tops mounts?? Top of the strut??

 

I'll lube them up just in case but think it may be the axle bushes as it seems a common problem but wasnt sure what the symptoms are.

 

I'm away for a lads weekend in August and Its going into a local VW specialist.

I'll add this to the list of things to look at.....Bugger :confused4:
