Just had 17s put on the car (205/40/17 tyres) and whenever i go over bumps at a slow speed i hear creaking from the rear of the car.

What could this be? It didn't happen before.

it certainly sounds like it's a suspension thing, I don't think i've got any rubbing from the wheels but that wouldn't sound like that anyway would it?

How do i go about checking the rear springs then mate?

thanks for your help

check that the rear springs are sitting in the bottom cup bit correctly.

ok, next question.

How can i check for scrubbing? Is it best to check for marks on the tyre or the arches?

thanks
