Last couple of days my rear driver’s damper has been creaking, and getting loader and more often.
What the hell is causing it ?
I’ve checked the damper, and the mounts and their are secure.
Could it be the spring ?
Or is the damper rubber ducked ???

check bottom arm/wishbone bushes as when these start to perish, sometimes they move up and down in the wishbone/bottom arm......thus causing the squeak
to check wether its your spring......get someone to sit in the car......and turn the wheels lock to lock.......the spring shouldnt move.....but the damper should.....if your spring is moving.....it could be cause the end of the spring has snapped off and moving in the cup that it sits in
with the damper......WD40 is only a quick solution.....not a permanent fix.....(unless you like to spray your damper every few days to stop it squeaking).....so find out if its the damper squeaking....and if it is...replace it........

Try taking the rear dampers off and lubing them up a bit
