Hi,

Mine did the same thing.
Took it back to dealer and got them to check it under warrrenty.
Said everything ok.
1 week later my drivers side damper has colapsed and died.


May not be same problem as you but maybe worth a quick look.

Look for oil running down the strut,

hope this helps

Its completly normal, when theres more weight in the rear it pushes the suspension down which causes the angle of the wheel to move which will drag the rear brakes. This causes a loud creaking noise. Hope that makes sense!

Try jacking the front of the car up with the handbrake on and listen for it then.
