noise from rear suspensions...

my 02 now makes creaking noise from the rear suspensions when going over small bumps. it is only audible with small bumps, and no, the annoying noise doesn't go away even after a good 2 hours of driving. I also have the same noise with the fronts, it is even louder. Weird thing is, both front and rear are significantly louder in the passenger side. I know some other ORGers also have the front creaking issue, but mine has it all 4 corners, sounds like the wheels are about pop off anytime. If one day any of you see a fellow Max driver curse and chase after some wheels alongside the road, don't forget to honk and say hello.... makes me feel like I am driving a homemade tracker Any insights on how to get rid off this noise? I no longer have warranty, so stealer will be my last option. Thanx for any inputs.

I was able to solve my suspension noise for free. On your radio there is a volume button. Turn that to 27 and the sound will go away. Easy fix....

Mine does that BAD in the cold mornings, but not in warmer weather.

Just turn on the radio before you leave.

Yeah, my new noise is a loud high pitched whine, kind of like an old power steering pump makes when you crank the steering wheel all the way, during cold starts. Rises with RPM too.

Going to flush the PS with Redline fluid, hopefully that fixes it.
