Hey all...need some advice.

The rear end of the car seems to have gotten sloppy over the past year or so. Just to get it out of the way...I checked all the subframe bolts and they are very tight. I don't have the "body in the trunk" thump or anything like that.

The symptoms are when I hit bumps in the road, seems like instead of the car just going up and down, it kicks sideways a little bit to the right. Sort of weird to explain, just seems like bushings are twisting or something else is loose where a typical jaunce in the suspension due to normal road bumps causes the rear end to shift sideways a little.

The other issue...which might be related is that I have some annoying creaking and squeeking coming from the back end when going slowly over bumps. Not a "thump", but more of a creaking noise you'd expect from a Kia.

Car has 57,000 miles.


Any ideas to fix this would be great.

Thanks!!

I had that in my e55 and it turned out to be my tire, ps2's. Got new tires and the troubles went away.

I'll get it aligned ASAP. Any suggestions on what to check for the creeking in the suspension?

for the creaking check all the bushing some maybe worn out.

Rear Sub frame bolt.

I checked all the sub frame bolts and they were tight. Any other/better method of checking them other than just putting a wrench on them?

I had the same creaking but from the front - had to replace some of my ball joints and both my control arms.
