Creeking sound from rear

[chris5388]

Hello,

In my 95 Z28 I have this out of control creeking sound coming from the rear end. It happens whenever I drive around or when I make a sharp right turn.The noise sometimes goes away when I lube everything down underneath my car but then it usually comes back within a week or two and gets really loud. I never had this problem until I got in my accident and the rear of my car hopped a curb pretty hard. I had to replace the panhard bar, rotors and the left side axle shaft. If someone could give me some ideas on what my problem could be I would appreaciate it.

Thanks,
Chris

OK, I just some how deleted everything I wrote so now I am pissed lol. If it is clicking around corners and in reverse it is the posi for sure. It either needs servicing or when it was the additive wasn't put in. If this is not the case it could be hiddin damage like the exhaust rubbing when it gets warm etc...

If you took the car somewhere to have it repaired which I hope you did considering the damage inflicted on the suspension then I would return there and tell them what's up. Otherwise it is hard to tell without hearing it.

CHECK THE REAR SPRINGS. THERE SHOULD BE A RUBBER BOOT ON THE TOP AND BOTTOM. IF IT'S NOT THERE OR IS DAMAGED THEN IT RUBS METAL TO METAL AND CREEKS LIKE A DOOR.

seems 90% of 4th gens have that noise check your suspension that everthing is intact spray some lube on the upper and lower spring perchs and turb up the radio

my car squeaks pretty good taking sharp corners too. I know i dont have any issues with the posi though ( :smt077 ) and the fluid is fresh. I always thought maybe it was the brake pads making contact or something because of the pressure on wheel mount.

I dont recall ever having that problem with my 3rd gen...

yah, i have the same noise. who knows what it is!! sumtimes i think its the spring not seated correctly, sumtimes i think my rear is about to fall outta the ass. so far so good. when i corner tho it rattles around. it comes and goes. i took the spring isolator out in the rear to get the rear to sit lower, but i cant remember if i had the problem b4 i did that or not.

lube the spring moiunts tigetn everything and dont worry about it
if you jack up by the body and let the axle hang you can put some thick grease on the springs top and bottom it will stop the noisefor a while
