Hi all,
well, as some of you might have noticed on a previous thread, I just recently bought a 94 Rodeo Ls 4wd. I'm very happy with my purchase and shes running like a champ! however, a couple days ago I started hearing a creaking noise (kinda like lying down on an old spring matress)
after accelerating from a dead stop, and after going over speed bumps...the sound seems to be coming from the back... any ideas as to what this might be?

Welcome to leaf springs. Mine does it too after a rough drive down a dusty mountain road.

Or at least, that's my best guess.

yeah, but mine does it all the time...im gonna take it to my local mechanic, to see what he has to say about this...if it is the leaf springs, can they be repaired or would I have to replace them entirely? and how much do they cost?
