morning gents

iv got a weird sounding squeek, rattle, tapping god only knows from the back under the rear seats / in the boot area.

at first just thought it was loose trim but iv checked everything and no joy, then it deemed on me could this be the sound of some cracks forming in the subframe ??

have you boys who have had this problem ever heard of any thing like this related to the sub frame because its all i can think of now

Could be time for a subframe check.....

Assuming when your driving?? Could be broken rear springs, discs, bushes or subframe. Worth checking in that order and getting subframe inspected anyway.

had new discs on it 2.5k ago
had new springs last year
could well be the bushes didnt think of that and i have a sub frame check about 3k ago.
i did have a spirited drive through europe last month through the alps and its been ever since then.

I have a really annoying creek / squeek from my rear seat. Only know it's that as it disappears when i remove them.

For all the time it takes it might be worth a go?
