Hey All-
I live in a house where the garage is at a 90 degree angle from the driveway with a 3-4 foot grade when backing into the garage. My suspension tends to flex when going up/down the driveway and in/out of the garage, but have never noticed any abnormal noises coming from the suspension, until now.
Not it sounds like there is a pretty bad "creaking" noise coming from the rear end. I had my wife listen from the outside and she seemed to think it was coming from the passenger side. She likened it to the sound of a coil spring flexing, and that is kind of what it sounds like but more pronounced. The noise seems to happen anytime the KJ goes over a bump enough to shift the whole vehicle on the suspension, even on the road, so it's not when it's at any extreme angles or flexing.
Anyone have any idea what this could be or what could be causing this? I know Jeeps tend to make noise and have little odds and ends, but this is definitely a new noise and I don't want to overlook anything, especially since my Chrysler extended service contract is up in about 3 weeks! Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks fellas!
