Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

6 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Evening all….I’ve recently done a suspension refresh changing all coffin arms, tie rods and upper track arms. Had a full geo done and it was running very sweetly indeed! A few weeks ago the car developed a creak from the passenger rear. This only shows when warm, speeds up when accelerating and on further investigations seems to be a creak.. Car is a 996 96 3.4 c2, video below….i know it’s probably simple. I already checked for warped discs, stuck pistons and disc shield issues weeks back.. https://youtu.be/Mo0YXWNEYeg?feature=shared Any ideas?

POST 2Original post

I had similar from the front of mine sorted with new disc backing plates/shields but it sounds like you’ve discounted that. My first thought from your description was top mount, but having seen the video I don’t think that’s right. Wheel bearings perhaps?

Handbrake shoes delaminated from their backplates and fouling the handbrake drum, or a CV joint on it’s way out ...

Can you compare to the wheel and see if the noise is consistent with wheel position. If so the yes it is rotation of parts. I'd also add into the mix you could have some problems with the ABS ring on the drive shaft. I also had a problem where one of the wheel bolts was too long and it just clipped something behind and only occasionally - say when it was hot. But it was consistent with rotation so as wheel speed increased then so did it.

POST 6Original post

Top mount id say. Remove and inspect
