2007 Liberty rear control arms

[upstatedave]

I have a 2007 Liberty and during this past yr per a recall the rear control arms have been replaced by a Chrysler dealer. Now when turning right they make a creaking noise. Turning left no noise. I have used white lithium grease and I use it back there on everything that moves and it goes away for a month and then comes right back. Any suggestions? Is it the arms or something else in your opinion? Thanks.

When you used the grease did you undo the LCA and tighten it down with the weight on the tires?

No I didn't. I will try that TY.

thats what solved my problem right after the lca recall was completed. i torqued mine to i believe 70ish with the weight on the tires and the noise went away. the dealership had those bolts hammered down around 120-140 torque (which is way high from spec. and tightened at the wrong time {weight off the tires}).

i re-torqued mine to 60 now that i look at my records. but spec was 73. mike
