View Full Version : 2006 Vti creak in back

My 2006 Vti has recently developed a loud creak in the LH (AFAIK) rear.

I thought it may be interior trim so sprayed the edges on the hatch with silicone spray with no change. I also wiped the buffers and the hatch seal with Armor All.

Had a brief look at the suspension but the shock bushes all looked tight and no noise when manipulating .
Has anyone had this problem and what is the cure?
I have searched and there are no posts pertaining to rear creaks and groans.

Looks like I found it. It is something to do with the mounts of the LH rear seat. My wife put it down to fit her golf clubs in and the creaking has stopped.
I haven't lubed them up yet but that is next.

good but most jazz interior is good n tight, unless punished by very tough susp setup. May be you need a cleanup and lube around : )
About everyday lube, I bought a silkolene chain lube spray B4. good stuff, highly recommend.
The lube stay there much longer time rather then other spray lube.
