My car is seriously doing my head in at the moment, I'm getting a horrible creaking noise coming from the rear (somewhere)... (passenger side rear I think)

Gonna take it to Redline at the weekend for them to have a butchers.

Here's a vid of the noise.... It's so loud!!!

This was taken from my mobile so apologies for the lack of quality.

Can anyone help identify the problem, what's the cost?

hi mikeyb,it sounds like a noisey rear strutt top mount to me ,dont no about cost to sort,but removing the struts on these cars is quite straightfoward and quick .alan

Right then, just letting you know I've found the problem of the squeak, and it's coming from the top of the new rear drop links, I've slackened off the nut and bolt and sprayed plenty of silicon into the bush, and I've tightened them up again, but not too tight as that when the sqeak comes back...

Is this normal? Or do they need to be 'super' tight?
