Suspension creaking

    Hi all,
    I have recently noticed when passengers are getting into my car there is a serious creaking noise from the suspension! The noise is on the passenger side at the rear.

    It's an 07 Toyota Auris, I recently moved house and it only started after that. I am wondering if I put too much weight into it????

    Would appreciate any opinions.... Will go to the mechanic to get it checked, I am worried the car is going to collapse!

    Firstly it wont collapse most likely a bushing slightly worn or something like that wont be a big issue anyway.

    Get it checked out anyway.

    How far did you move the house? :D

    There shouldn't be any problem as the previous poster said. Cars do tend to creak the odd time. Get it checked for peace of mind.

    Them Auris's are some yoke to tow. Stobarts ought to switch to them. On another note OP, if a garage throws it up on a lift the problem ought to be easily spotted and fixed.
