Creaking Suspension

[07BLUESTONE]

Does anyone know if there is a service bulletin for the rear stabilizer bar bushings and clamps? When I had the car in for the differential kit installation I mentioned that the suspension was creaking when I went over speed bumps. They said "yes there is a service bulletin on it and they would order the parts and set up an appointment to install" The trouble is that I was reading the service report and it says "clamps-frt 2, insulator 2" which I'm guessing is the "front" my problem is that the noise sure sounds like it's coming from the rear, not the front.

I've had the bushings replaced in the front two times - both of which fixed the sound (the second replacement was over a year later).

You are the first I've heard of anyone having a noisy rear!

hi Tom, I also thought the noise was coming from the back as well as the front but the front ones were replaced and the noise stopped. Guess the sound travels everywhere in our cars and my head.

I had mine replace one week after purchase, I go back to the dealership now and tell them it still squeaks and when I go to pick it up they say they couldn't hear anything, then I ask them if anyone else is complaining, they respond by saying i'm the only one, bulldogles, my brother has a solstice and he has has his bushings done twice, It makes me mad when you bring something in and the problem that you have doesn't come up while they have it or they just ignore it. I also have a loose screw or something in the dash that is so annoying it is beyond explaination, squeek, squeek, squeek is all I hear from the dash and when i go over bumps its double. Does anyone think the dash issue is something they should cover under warrenty. I think it is, if they don't put it together right they should fix it.

let me know if anyone else has a lose bolt inside the dash somewhere located by the stereo and the vents in the middle.

Only when its very cold. I have to call to have new pads for the top replaced, again( they just can in) So I'll ask about the sqeak, so them can order parts if needed

Mine also just started having this problem. Usually when it's cold, but not always. Haven't taken it in yet because I'm sure they will not be able to reproduce it. Gotta take it though - the right side is sounding bad.
