Creaking Rear
« on: April 17, 2011, 11:05:00 am »
Heyup!  :happy2:

My car has developed a creaking noise from the rear. I think that its that ARB links, becuase if i spray them up with silicon the noise goes away.... for a day  :sad1:.

Do i swap these out for OEM items or are there some after market upgraded ones that are better?

Are you sure the noise isn't coming from your rear seat not being locked in place?
Without traction power is nothing!
