Hi Gents,
My 1995 3 door has developed an annoying "creak" from the rear in the last couple of weeks, just thought I would post in case anyone else has suffered this and found the reason!
Every time I go over a bump there is a creaking noise from the rear, sounds like the tailgate. It's not a rattle, definitely a creak as though something is tight/under friction and rubbing.
I have lubricated everything I can with a silicon spray, adjusted hinges/striker in all directions etc but still doing it.
It seems worse if I go over a bump which picks one side or the other up, putting a little bit of twisting strain on the vehicle.
Annoyingly it won't do it whilst the vehicle is stationary with me pushing and shoving it around, only whilst in motion.
Does this sound familiar to anyone??
Need to get to the bottom of it as it's driving me nuts!!!
Cheers,
Pete
