Default Rear end creaking noise

hey guys, im getting these squeeky/creaking noise from the rear end of my 99.5 2.8 quatrro.

it happens when i go over small hills, and sometimes when i go push the trunk down to make the rear rock. sometimes the sound would dissappear all together for a couple days.

im sure it would have to do something with the suspension, but would like to narrow it down a little further.

my guess would be some sort of bushing and if thats cheap to fix?


thanks.

Mine does this too. I'm watching this.


Probably just needs bushings greased, but I'm new so I'll sit back and watch before I say too much.

LOL. Mine did that too on the rear left. I greased the bushing and the noise dissapeared, but now it's the other side.... well More grease would do the job.

Here's a trick.. spray WD40 on one bushing at a time untill the squeak stops. You have found it.
