Description of the problem | Right rear suspension makes creaking noise, progressively worse over time. Suspension was greased up, but problem recurred after one week. Concerns that assemble may come loose while driving. Noise worse on uneven surfaces or when eight is redistributed to right side (e. G. Drive through windows sometimes elevate from the left causing car to lean on right side; uneven parking lots will cause creaking sound). |
