Loud creaking from the rear
 

Hey dogs I got my sway bar tightened last Wednesday because i was getting horrible rattling, poppin and crackling sounds from the back when I would drive. It sounded like I had a box of empty beer cans in the trunk, it was horrible. But now I notice, as the weight of my body lessens as ill come out of my car i hear a really loud creaking sound from the back left. It sounds like a creaking rocking chair. If I sit back down and get up slowly again, same thing. But after the first couple times its gone and wont do it anymore. Then itll start again the next time i get out. Its really embarassing cause you can hear it well from the outside.

All 7th gens do this. You need to lubricate every rubber component in the back because it could be any of them.

Every Civic should come with a can of white lithium grease

LOL I got this creak too. I thought it was because im 200lbs! So if I wanted to grease the rear end is there grease nipples or something or do I gotta spread it with finger?

Re: Loud creaking from the rear
 

No grease nipples... just spray the fukk out of every piece of rubber you see in every direction you can and the noise will go away for a while. There really isn't a fix because nothing is broken, just rubber components rubbing and flexing... lol Triz you are absolutely right... or maybe a lifetime supply since you will go through a thousand cans.

^you make this forum adults only. Good call.

Re: Loud creaking from the rear
 

True but HOndas shouldnt be creaking like this. I dont know about you, but its pretty embarassing getting out of your car and people can hear you from 10ft away due to the rocking chair creaking lol.

^HAHAHA I feel you. People think I'm farting when I get out of my car.

hello,
I am reopening this old thread, because my car is making this creaking noise from rear, and thats driving me crazy!
The noise comes from rear right side when I take turns ,when I am on the slope or climb the slope.very negligible when i am on the bumps.
Initially I thought its suspension components, so I lubricated them with silicon spray last week, but didnt help.
now I am almost convinced that its coming from the trunk area(the metal pieces that connects trunk with the body), but not the trunk itself, because i lubricated the trunk springs as well last week.
I drove the car in our parking area(we have a good 3 feet slope from road to the parking lot) by leaving the trunk and right door open, and could hear the noise.
there is a long thread on other forum with similar problem, i spent 30 min in reading each and every post here.

http://www.driveaccord.net/forums/sh...=23629&page=16

seems that this problem is very common in accord and these guys spray some DuPont Teflon multi use lubricant to fix the same.

my question is are there specific spots where we need to apply the lubricant?if possible,can someone please pinpoint with the pictures?
BlueEM2 mentioned that the components are rubber, but i dont see any rubber components in that area (where trunk connects to the body)

is silicon spray good for the lubrication in that area or should I try "Teflon multi use lubricant" as mentioned by the accord guys?
Currently i have

which i applied on the suspension components.

Thanks in advance.
