My S2000 has a creaking noise coming from the rear when I go up/down my driveway or when my car has just came to a stop and leans back. I can also make it creek by opening my trunk and pushing hard up and down with my hands in the trunk, which makes both sides of my rear squeak/creek. It sounds like metal scraping metal and something needs oiled in the suspension on each side of the rear wheels.

What do you guys think it could be? Shocks? CV Joints?

Is all the suspension stock?

Maybe the diff? Do you just hear one little pop sound when you push on the gas?

I believe that all of the suspension is stock and also, it can't be the differential because it does it when the car is off, when I push up and down inside the trunk with my hands.

I had a '00 s2k did the same thing.U got yourself a tired suspension,bet ya Take a look under there,manual does recommend re-torquing a few of the bits.Might see something,worn bushings all crusty.I didn't let the squeakes bother me and if never broke.

I am going to have it looked at friday. Is it normal for suspension to wear out after only 54,000 miles? If it is the suspension, would I be best to go OEM for replacement? Should I probably change the front suspension also? How much do you think it will cost me?

Thanks.

Mine had 69k and was about as old is yours is now.Lots of squeaks out back.Take a look underneath.Lots of labor to change out bushings.

i had a similar metal to metal sound in my car. I found out that it was from the trunk. the two black metal bars connecting each side of the trunk lid was the source. I placed some thick double sided tapes and the sound disappeared. Hope this helps.

I would bet it's something a bit more simple, the noise is from rear brake calipers self adjusting when you back down the driveway. If so, nothing to worry about, perfectly normal.

I can make the car, make the noise when it is off and the e-brake is pulled by pushing up and down on the back of the car. I can clearly tell that it is coming from both rear wheel wells but not sure what it is.
