I am not familiar with a RWD platform, so I am looking for some advice here. My 2011 GT is making a "creaking" noise under load.
It all started a bit ago when I noticed a rattle coming from the rear. It only happened when I hit decent bumps, so I just lived with it for a while. The last month or so (since it got warm) I have noticed that any time I take off from a stop or shift gears there is this loud squeeky/creaky noise coming from what sounds to be the left rear of the car and it is getting really freaking annoying paired with the rattle.
I asked the dealership to see if they could see what part what causing this and I would pay for it (since it is a aftermarket kit on the car) and they came back twice with it is the exhaust hanger. I am sorry, but that doesn't make any sense at all to me. I got under that car and shook the exhaust to shit and it just makes a very slight noise as the hanger shifts in the holder, but not nearly loud enough to be making the noise I am hearing. The exhaust hasn't changed at all and there is no bare metal indicating any scraping is occuring.
I am thinking it is one suspension part or bushing just getting worse. Anyone have any ideas on where to start? I was thinking maybe LCA bushing? Thanks in advance, Andy.
