Default Creaking Rear Suspension

Anyone else notice a creaking noise coming from rear suspension?
We noticed this the other day when we were driving slowly through a parking lot with the windows down. I can slowly bounce the rear of the Q by hand and hear it most noticeably from the left rear.

I have that problem too. Same left rear. Brought it to the dealership. According to them they re-lubricated the whole suspension. Took about 1 whole day of work. No more creaking noises anymore. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the reply.
I think I found the source of the noise. Left rear shock. The rubber boot and plastic sleeve at top of assembly. Now it's a matter of correcting.

I think I might be noticing the same thing. Have a 25km service appointment next week and will point it out to them. I only notice it when driving slowly, and with the cargo cover removed, it's more noticeable.

Just curious, what was the outcome of your Dealer visit?
I never really got around to trying to fix mine. It does sound like we are both experiencing same thing.

Had to postpone the appointment. Should have it looked at on Monday. Will report back any findings.
