I noticed that over the past couple of days I have heard some creaky noises in my Nissan 350z. I am not sure what it is but it is irritating. It's almost like a wooden floor creak. It only happens when I have parked the car or when I am about to take off from park some of the time. It makes the 350z which is a very high quality car sound like an old azz Lincoln Town Car with fking bench seats..lol. I found this link when I did a search for creaks but I am not sure if it applies. I don't feel like I should have to pay for something that could be a manufacturer defect. See link below. Please tell me if you guys removed it yourself.

It'd be nice to know where the sounds are coming from.

 

This is an off topic forum

 

It's definitely coming from the rear somewhere in my Lincoln Town Car...umh, I meant Nissan 350z.

 

There not that bad of a car. I got a 1994 lincoln town car. I get busted on all the time for driving it. I got a hookup and only paid 800 so i don't care. It'll get me through high school and college.

 

I've got creaks all over the place. Mainly in the rear. I think it's the upper hatch panels moving around though...

 

i have alot of creaks aswell i tried finding out what it was and failed. Im thinking its the rear hatch strut

 

Maybe a loose nut behind the wheel

 

checked spare wheel, nothing loose

 

When it was fully stock I don't remember it having much. I do have to say, adding a full exhaust and a seashell under the hood, it sure did change things a bit.

Anywho, if you want a fix, just do what I do, wear ear plugs when you're driving.

 

How much do you weigh fatty? j/k

Maybe its your rear dampers? Sometimes they make noise.

 

Steering column creak here. Very moody tho.

 

I've laid eDead V1 all over my trunk/mid area.

No creaks.

 

So we have eliminated the spare wheel, how about a loose nut behind the wheel???

 

I've given up on finding my creaks. I hope the drone from the TurboXS will drown them out.

 

I have the same problem in my 03 after i release the ebrake. ie, if i have it jacked up w ebrake on, then lower it and take the ebrake off, it squeaks, i assume its just the suspension settling from the tire tension against the ground. but it also does it every once in a while just sitting there, i guess ive just gotten used to it.

 

Sounds like your droplinks.

 

Yea, when my Z was stock i had 0 creaks. Now with the coilovers and exhaust my Z creaks,buzzes,and pops LOL

 

'O4 Touring Coupe: NO creaks, NO feathering, NO oil-consumption issues, FLAWLESS AT...NO PROBLEMO! Will die with her!!!
