Rear suspension creaking

(1/2) > >>

TheBALDpuma:
Hi guys. I've noticed in the last few weeks when going over lumps and bumps in the golf I've got a creaking noise coming from the back of the car. Springs and shocks all look fine, do I'm thinking bushes? What's the best place to start looking? And it's this likely something a before average home mechanic can do on axel stands?

mjmallia:
Most prob dry rear ARB bushes.  Unbolt them, silicone grease them and reattach.

TheBALDpuma:
Would it blow be worth just replacing them?

mjmallia:
Depends on how old they are.   I replaced mine with poly bush items, but they need silicone greasing every couple of years.

TheBALDpuma:
I've got underneath and has a look. To my eye they look a little f*cked.

I'm assuming it's these first ones?  The second photos they also look pretty tired too but not sure if these need replacing?

Can't feel movement on the driver's side but can on the passenger side by hand.
