   hey recently iv had a funny noise coming from the rear if im driving along on a bumpy road it goes mad its kind of a creak/squeak noise it also creaks as i get out the car and seems to be mostly the rear wheel drivers side but also coming from the passenger side i think. im guessing a rear rubber or shock any ideas please

   More likely radius arm bearings, it will get more frequent and louder as time passes. Best fix is a recon beam - a few lads sell them on here. Not as scary as you would think to change them either.

   Bad news mate but on the plus side you can fit some poly mounts when you replace it!

    That signifies collapsed/collapsing radius arm bearings.
