What is making the rear of my car creak? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

What parts could do this besides the shocks? My rear drivers side creaks at low speeds, and if I push down on the back of the car when I'm stopped. It isn't the shock (replaced less than 10k ago). What other parts do this, bushings maybe? Or is the car just old. Anyway if you have had this problem any input would be appreciated, Thanks.

Aarm bushings, upright bushings, subframe bushings.

mine made the same noise, turned out it was the RUCA i had replaced them and somehow got a little dry in there (bushing where it bolts up) and ijust took it off and greased it up, problem solved, at least mine

Is there any way to tell which bushing it might be, or do I need to get it on a lift and just look?

it's just the one on the RUCA, you have to take off the wheel, and i unbolted it, not sure if i had to though, then grease it up and put it all back
