Creaking Rear Suspension

[Mike(UK)]

I have a creaking noise from the right rear suspension on my 01 C4 Coupe. Anyone else had this problem? Is it expensive?!

Thanks

:help:

i had creakin noise in my front, turned to be bad control arm. costed me about $500 (part + labor) to fix.

It could also be a loose swaybar mount.

Control arms for me, it did the trick.

I'm experiencing the same creaking coming from initially the driver's rear suspension and now the passenger's as well. Is this an easy fix that I can do on my own, or do I have to talk it to the dealer?

I'm also thinking if I have to replace the suspension, I should upgrade to the x74 suspension anyways. Is there a very reputable mechanic I can take to around the San Francisco Bay Area that won't rip me off?

Thanks!
