Creaking Noise From Dead Stop

[Sasuketr]

Hey Guys,

I have a 2015 gtpp for almost 2 years now with 20,000 miles on it. Lately from a dead stop it makes a creaking noise and clunks. It only happens during take off. It does not happen all the time. The suspension components are all checked and secure. The car has Steeda No Wheel Hop Kit. Everything looks secure and even the dealer can not duplicate the problem. Anyone having the same issues?

I wonder if the bolts on the half shafts are loose or maybe some connection points at the rear axle or diff.

Thanks guys.

Nobody has this problem?

When did you put the Steeda kit on? Noise before or after that?

A year and a half ago, first time it came out. The noise started at the beginning of this summer. I checked the bolts for the kit and they are all fine. I m wondering if something else is loose? Almost sounds like suspension clunk right at the beginning of take off but the springs and everything looks fine.

so it's definitely in the rear, you're saying?

Did you use steeda Irs alignment bushings? The back delrin ones? I installed one backwards and had squeaking.

^ Those can be installed backwards? Great...

No bushings were installed. It is in the rear for sure and only happens during take off. Going over bumps and stuff doesnt trigger it.

We'll yes because the rears can fit in the front I made the mistake and put the rear in front and had a creaky noise on take off. Swapped them and other went away.

I think I have mine right, but now I'm second guessing myself...

If I'm not mistaken the skinny ones go in back and fat ones in front. I have a thread somewhere in suspension david@steeda confirms right way to install. Maybe op just needs to retoque for it to go away?

Ok retorquing is in the list. Thanks guys.
