   anyone know what the noises can be? sounds like a strange noise if i slowly drive off a big kurb, one back wheel then the other... get like a clunk and when on a rough surface sounds like the rear beam is squeeking like crazy
   
   anyone know what this may be or what i can do to stop it?

   cant see from here lol
   
   jack the back end up, check for play in the wheel bearings, the trailing arm, check all bolts are tight, check ARB plates are tight and located properly, check torsions bars are all secure properly, and with the car on the floor check there isnt excessive camber on the rear wheels.
   
   then post results
