I'm getting a strange creaking noise from the rear of the vehicle.. it sounds like it could be the springs. I recently installed the OME 890 rear coils with the N86 rear shocks.

The creaking noise occurs when I turn. Also It occurs when i hit bumps that are large enough. The noise occurs when the rear axle goes over the bump (the front of the vehicle doesn't make any noise). I'm assuming it's the stiffness of the spring thats causing the noise... I've checked the spring to make sure that it is seated properly and that the spring side A (longer) is on the driver and B is on the passenger (for fuel tank).

Is this normal? or has anyone else experienced creaking noises with the OME 890s?

The vehicle has only been wheeled once since the lift install and wasn't wheeled hard. Maybe the springs haven't settled yet... any help would be appreciated!

 

Check the top nuts on your shocks (if they were replaced).

I had the same thing and I tightened down the sock nuts and it went away...

 

thank you SC, they are loose. Hope that solves the problem.
