Ratttttlling and squeeeeking

[Rixio]

yo

just a quik q...iv got a fair bit of rattling and squeeking from the back end on the car the engine and parts are mechanically fine (when it was checkd b4 it got nickd) but from the rear boot area theres a lot of sounds just wondering has ne1 else had same problems in the past witt their cars. i tried deadening the sound by cutting out some old carpet and putting it under the original carpet in the boot it did help but theres still a fair bit of sound from that end. any1 know of ne normal things to check??


thanks

I had something similar.. was my suspension bushings gone - all four.. best to get it checked out.. sounds a bit like it

[Rixio]

where did u get the replacement bushes from then and how much were they? also is there like a haynes manual or sumthing similar for the rx u can get??

[Andyp]

I got mine done at reworx.. I had 4 that were gone and the part was £75 each.. not cheap sadly

The service manuals are hard to go by.. couldn\'t tell you how hard they are to do really mate...

[Rixio]

feeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeck me £75 each!!!! each!!!! gaaad daaaaamn £300 just for bushes! did u get normal mazda or performance bushes? cos they did make alot of dif on my s4

[Andyp]

£75 each fitted. They arent very pleasant to do, Max  was going to do his at his coach firms workshop but got scared off very quickly! Geff\'s been putting off fitting a couple of the FEED 18-piece solid bush kits for a while now :rollin

what took you so long!! don\'t let me talk about stuff I don\'t know about hehe

[Donato]

Are they hydraulically pressed into position?

[20B_boy]

Not crashed it yet then Pog? I actually said to geff that yours felt good, lots of them dont from experience!

Don - yes, they are pressed in.

Rixio, have you tried playing about with the latch for the tailgate? one of the the annoying squirrel/hamster squeeks can come from there. I know Henning adjusted his so it was border-line a bit stiff to shut - but no more squirrels over every small bump in the road...

GT wings are another culprit Yuck! Some of them vibrate and suqeek REALLY bad. Good luck.

[Rixio]

yeh i have a gt wing but its really secure i dont think its that making the noise iv checkd bushes they fine the latch cover and boot lid cover are knocky though and not properly fixd some of the poppers r duff. i thought kud b the spare but its secure and snug! also does ne1 know how to fix the centre console down properly cos when they put the fog wirings they always leave it loose!
