Tl;dr looking for info on rear axle creaking sound
I've seen a couple of posts possibly mentioning an issue I'm gaveling but nothing really concrete.
2012 1.4t hatch with ~151k miles
Creaking noise (combination of a popping squeak, like a slowly cranked rusty nut/bolt sound) coming from drivers rear
Only heard at lower speeds (<30mph) while turning
heard it a lot in my driveway and parking lots
No noise heard when compressing rear repeatedly
No noise heard when trying to shake side-side
Minor creaking when backing up problem side onto ramp
All Lugs tight
No play in wheel bearing
Nothing blatantly bad looking when inspecting suspension
Only thing i could see was the Rear Axle Beam pivot bushing (95910101) has ~1/4" gap on the bottom.
I've read that these could be an easy fix, but I also saw a thread stating it can be a real tough job. Im hoping someone here has done the same replacement job, and could shed some light for me before I try jumping in blind on this. Also, has anyone seen any poly upgrades for this?
