Rear end / suspension creaking sound (MY16 FR 180)

[DANFR180]

Well my new FR has done 500 miles and developed a horrendous creaking sound at the drivers rear. It is louder at lower speeds and as you navigate speed bumps etc. I thought it was coming from the interior trim at first but now I am sure its coming from the suspension. There is a slight rattle from the drivers door card but this is much louder and more of a creak than a rattle. I will be booking in to the dealer but just trying to get some more information before I do. Any others had the same problem ?

Decent car apart from that !

I had similar issues with my car from brand new, after some test drives on rough rode with colleague of mine we found it is coming from the brackets holding one of the fuel tanks, just tightened one of the bolts holding it and it is ok now. First I thought it is something coming from the trim inside.

I get some worrying noises from my rear too.
In AND out of the car.....

I haven't noticed anything although the fuel moving around the tank caught me out when I first had the car.

Had similar issue - during rainy days the noise was gone and when it was hot the creak was back!
Mine was some bracked near the rear right wheel thin which holds some hose (did not lift the car so could not see)
Just gave a little shake to left and right - creek is gone now

Does this sound like tiny metal hitting each other?

no, it sounds more like when the wings on an airplane flex making a disconcerting creak lol
