Hi guys,

i am really having a hard time trying to find the source of some noise in my car.
As soon as i get some speed and there is ANY bit of suspension involvement i get some creaking-rattling noise that SEEMS to come from the back of the car, possibly the left hand side.
Of course, a bit hard to trace it exactly since i am driving it.

So far i tried:
Rear seats down.

Parcel shelf off.

Boot rubbers extended slighty.

 

None of this made any difference and now i am convinced it might be actually suspension related?
Any idea on what to check, noise is driving me nuts but there is no vibration or anything that seems dangerous so at least i got that.

PLEASE 😞

Hey, thank you but i looked at those again. My noise is more almost like a rattle, not too loud but loud enough to be annoying and it's constant. I think left side rear but not entirely sure. I am very confused but it's none of the ones you linked which i had already looked at.

Ok, so i got under the car without lifting it and i am pretty sure it's the exhaust, specifically should be the mount in the middle, VRS model.
If i shake the exhaust where the cat is i can hear the same rattle up/down and left/right. Can't really see why that is, not comfortable being under such a low car with just a couple of jack stand but maybe i'll try this weekend.
Anyone had the same?

So yeah, managed to fix it.

It was the mid exhaust hanger mount.

The mount itself was possibly screwed with some tension and everytime the exhaust was moving a bit it was initiating this rattle, constantly, which was driving me nuts.

So under the car i go and since it's low you will understand it's a pain. Moved the exhaust vigorously by hand and confirmed that was the issue. 

So i backed off the 13mm bolt holding the bracket and let it relax then tightened it again and NO MORE RATTLE.

Do you have a picture of where this was hapenning?

Hey, it was hard enough to fix it, taking pictures would have been very tricky.
I barely got the car high enough to fit under, a bit sketchy.

Are you experiencing something similar? Can you reproduce it by moving the ehxaust side to side by hand?
