ARGH...noises!

[Blizzard96]

For the last year I've dealt with the various creaks and suspension noises with my car but they are starting to wear on me.

For example, I sat into the passenger seat and I could hear a creaking noise. It sounds like a bed spring. I took it to the dealership once while I was getting a warranty part replaced and they said the bushings were dry so they greased them. The noises went away for TWO DAYS and then came back.

And when I go over speed bumps, there is a noise in the rear...to me it sounds like marbles hitting a surface. Or if I press down on the back end it makes the creaking noise.

I mean if this is just bushings, can I just replace them? Thanks guys...I said I would dedicate my tax refund to fixing the little things wrong with my car (alignment, suspension...that and gears. ;) )

as far as i know, the bushings on our cars can't be greased, there are no grease plugs in them. the dealership prolly put some grease on the outside of the bushing and that's why it started making noise again. get under your car and check the bushings. if they are starting to look thin, worn, or cracked, replace them. and make sure to get some that have grease plugs.
