Hi. I have a creaking sound from the nearside rear wheel area. I think it is coming from one of the suspension components. When I pull on the top of the rear wheel I get a creaking/squeaking sound. Also when driving slowly I can hear the creaking as the car goes over small undulations in the road. Has any user experienced this ? What was the faulty part ? Steve

This sounds like a problem I had with my 406 1.9TD, I thought it was the spare wheel vibrating in the boot for a few days! Anyway, best to check the mountings on the swinging arm which runs from the inside of each wheel forward to beneath the rear doors. I was fortunate to have the dealer fix it at no cost, (but also disappointed that the dealer didn?t see this before selling it to me!!!) as I had bought the car one month pervious from them! So I have no idea how much it cost. Bryan

Just found out that the lower suspension arm bush (pressed in the hub carrier) has plenty of wear. Just bought the fitting tool and new bush. I will post the result soon as I've done the job.
