Creeking Noise

[kmb4701]

Just wanted to ask everyone about a problem I'm having. I have a 96 ES300 with 112k miles.

When I ride over speed bumps I hear a distinct creeking noise coming from the rear of the car.

I'm guessing it has something to do with the shocks or struts which I don't know much about. I also seem to continually scrape the tail pipe when coming down from being elevated higher than the road. Just wondering about you guys' take on the matter and how much something like this will cost to fix. Also, can I do it myself.

Thanx,

Keven

Could be the rear suspension bushings.

And sway bar bushings. Just grease / replace all the bushings like everyone else. (search)

Agreed, very inexpensive repair. B)
