Hello all..have recently noticed that when I am reversing that I get a weird creak coming from the rear suspension, would this be a sign of worn bushings in the back?? I had to have the front discs and shocks replaced last year as my A6 is a high mileage car..could my back shocks need repalcing too?

Regards
Peter

Bushes or shocks or cracked spring

My entire rear suspension was shot after 200K miles, first parts to look at would be the rear shocks, anti-roll bar links, after that your into the bushes, some of which cannot be replaced so you have to buy the entire arm.
