I'll have a go at that - thanks Nigel

have experienced two types of creak.

1. Suspension movement related over heavy undulations, esp for instance parking on a steeply sloped car park when reversing over flat then steep ground while turning. This went when changed rear bushes.

2, when driving straight and pulling away. 2or 3 loud cracks, could describe as a creak, but i notice tis calls it a crack. Sounds like its coming from the rear drivers door/seat area so still in the area of the rear donut bush but sounds very much like its inside the car.

I had 1 now gone. Now getting 2.

Does 2 sound like your symptoms Martin?

Cheers.

I've got something clunking that makes me still wonder, first thought was a broken spring but it was not. My clunk is related to moving backwards or forwards, sound comes fron rear right side and can be heard ONLY in two situations: when REVERSING over a bump at very slow speed (when I reverse to my home yard) and when taking the first tight corner to left after I have had the clunk when reversing. So, something is moving, bu twhat can it be? Tried to find play in all possible and impossible locations, can not feel eany exsessive movement in any bushing, shocks, springs, nothing. And the wnoise is quite loud, as if a spring was loose but they are new.

have your springs been fitted properly put in the right place sounds like there not seated properly?

Yes, they are put according to the instructions here and TIS. Also the original ones were ok, in one piece and in right postition. How do I check the anti-roll bar, could it be loose/cracked/anything? No play whatsoever and really very seldom symptom, but you'll know when it will clunk...
