Suspension Creeking Over Bumps

[Eekie]

I thought I saw this somewhere else on RWO but I can't find the blasted thread. I have a '04 D2 w/51K and I'm getting a creeking noise in the front and back suspension when I hit bumps in the road, especially speed bumps in parking lots. Just driving on regular roads with light road bumps and whoops don't affect it, just the bigger bumps. almost sounds like something needs greased.

yeah ditto...mine too!
Mostly just the speed bumps for me though.
I figured it was the springs but I have air bags in the back!?

Anyone?

Sounds like the shocks are getting old and in need of replacement.

 

[DMS3Reno]

I was kind of expecting that was going to be the answer.
I'm wanting to replace mine all around with OME before spring anyway.

I'm at 70k with mine and they appear to be original.

Thanks Joey. I guess spring time shock swap for me to.

You could also try spraying the suspension parts (springs, shocks, bushings) with some mild light oil or lube and see if that helps... at least temporary.
