Could any part of my rear suspension be in need of lubrication? I noticed tonight as I came to a stop after reversing down a hill that I got a creaking noise from the back! |

my rear suspension can squeak a lot sometimes. seems to be temperature dependant, unless it breaks and you do a "view to a kill" dont worry about it  |

Yep. But what specifically is causing the noise then? And why only when I reverse downhill? |

drum handbrakes are loads quieter than the disc efforts, they never shut up, creak and groan if the wind hits the car etc. |
