My ass is creaking strut tower noise

[slidingsky]

Zenki S14 with 155k or so on the chassis.

Everytime I take off or basically make the car's (http://www.zilvia.net/f/showthread.php?t=199246#) back end squat there is a creaking noise like when you walk on an old wooden floor. It happens every time the suspension travels.

I noticed the noise about two weeks ago. I thought it was my stock (http://www.zilvia.net/f/showthread.php?t=199246#) suspension but have since replaced it with cusco coilovers. That didn't help, if anything made it worse.

So I'm wondering if this is just chassis (http://www.zilvia.net/f/showthread.php?t=199246#) old age or something that has worn out?

bushings. you might be able to get the noise to stop temporarily by taking all of the rear arms off and greasing where they make contact with the bushing sleeves but eventually they will start again.

agree sounds like bushings. arms and/or subframe.

yeah sounds like bushings. just get subframe bushings and the energy bushing kit :) and pay someone to install them lol

Yeah that is the one thing I don't think I would want to do on my own. I don't have the patience.

I'm pretty sure it is the Subframe bushings but it is an excuse to change them all.

If you need a bushing kit installed, holler at me. I work pretty cheap.

I'll keep that in mind. Thanks.
