Creaking going over bumps.. Audi 200 10V

[Carol, Dave, and Zach Weiss]

My old 89 200Q had the same symptom, and I replaced the transverse
links-didn't help.  It was indeed the trap arm bushings (although the
links may have been making noise, too).  YMMV.  The links are certainly
easier.

It's probably the outer heim joint on the rear suspension upper control
link - it has the exact symptoms you are describing.

When I go over any bumps the left rear corner starts to make creaking
noises. It sounds like an old mans rocking chair.  When I'm driving by
with the car it gets a lot of looks. 1 for being different but 2. for
this creaking. I don't know.. I've checked the bushins and such and
nothing.
