Hello.


It's really hot today and for the first time I heard some creaking with a bit of rattlin going and stopping especially with weight transfer.


I don't hear it on turns really at all. I just hear it under acceleration and braking...


It is very hot day whereas other days were only warm.


What's up with this creaky rockin chair.
All returns are much appreciated.

Mine was doing the same, s320 LWB. It was a bad drivers side, lower ball joint. Mechanic replaced it, back to normal.

I have experienced same issue . It was lower control are bushing. This is usually the culprit. It's not hard to fix it requires a hydraulic press to remove and reinstall. Hope this helps.
