    Default Creaking from suspenion

    Ok so i put my suspension in myself, not knowing what i was doing, car lent to one side a bit and had the front springs on the wrong side, before i had a chance to fix it/ take it to an expert i lost it around a round about and hit a fence with the fuel cap....=(

    now that the bodys been fixed, the car is handleing really bad, feel like im going to tip over when i turn and is very bouncy. also the the a screech when i take my foot slowly off the brake...=\ kinda sounds like its coming from the diff =s
    im pretty paranoid lol any ideas?

    yeah dont mess with your supsension if you dont know what your doing. you have already lost control of your car once due to your shotty work, how about instead of asking for advice and possibly stuffing it up again, just cut your losses and go to a prof, the price to repair your mistakes will be more then just getting it done right the first time

    +1, suspension is one of those things that you don't mess with unless you've got a mechanic with you. It's one thing to install a stereo and another to redo springs and shocks. Just take it to the pros and drive it real easy on the way, don't push it. Really you'd want it towed if it's handling that much like a boat.

    From my experience, a creak from the rear end of an IRS car COULD mean a fracture in the subframe or trailing arm/s.
