Why does my car make a creaking noise when I open the trunk?

So greasing the bushings and whatnot didn’t end up solving the creak after all. I just replaced my shocks, and in doing so, found out that what is likely making the noise is the upper shock mount, which is located inside the trunk. This explains why the noise almost sounds like it’s coming from inside.

Why does my Honda Accord make a loud creaking noise?

Its a very loud creaking noise that sounds like it’s coming from the inside, particularly from the rear as if it has something to do with the right back wheel. I was told just yesterday that it can be heard from the outside as well, so of course this raises my concern even more. I’m hoping that it’s just the rear shock mount as stated above.

What to do if your car suspension is creaking?

In addition, if your bolts are loose and causing the creaking on suspension parts, you will be well to go around and tighten them. If you find a rusted one rubbing on a bushing, remove it, clean it and coat it with anit-seize lubricant before putting it back together. Let us know. Was this answer helpful? I’ll take a look at that.
