The creaking of silent blocks, like any noise in the suspension, is always unpleasant because it means the need for immediate replacement. And if a creak appears after replacing the silent blocks with new ones, this is even more annoying, because such a problem should not exist by default.
If you want to know when silent blocks creak, why this happens and what to do about it, because there are several methods at once, then read the article to the end.
If the silent blocks are not new, then most often a creaking indicates their wear and need to be replaced. Neither lubricant nor other manipulations will get rid of squeaking for a long time. But when a squeak appears after replacement, the reasons may be different and it will most likely be possible to remove it.
The table below briefly summarizes all the causes of silent blocks creaking and possible methods for eliminating them. Moreover, these reasons are universal for all types of parts, regardless of their type and installation location. All this is described in more detail below.
| Causes | Solutions | |
| №1 | №2 | |
| Wear of old silent blocks | Replacement | Give lubricant |
| Insufficient fastening torque | Tighten fastenings | × |
| Incorrect installation | Reinstall correctly | If damaged, replace |
| Lack of lubrication | Add lubricant (different types) | Use WD-40 (short term effect) |
| Grinding in of new silent blocks | Will pass through 200-500 kilometers | × |
| Design Features | Find an analogue from another model | × |
| Poor quality | Replace with high-quality analogues or original | × |

The handbrake cable squeaks. you need to lubricate its fastenings
also the failure began when no one was there, very occasionally there was a creaking, and when someone sat down, the tininess began...
1 rubber band that fits into the hole in the seat (the top latch on the seat, then unfasten the seat and look at it from the trunk, there should be an elastic band there, 2 maybe the springs in the back are creaking?
try laying a rag under the seat or some kind of thread (under the entire other side for the entire width) and look... temporarily remove the plastic where the latch is (I don’t remember, you can do it without it or glue it with a model, and if it’s on the sides, then remove it in the same way time and travel take a look, you will find the reason, you will do everything right
I actually have an ensemble there. the seat creaks where there is a groove for the latch, plastic sides, headrests...
plastic sides are the worst! I put all the wood stuff in the back and I’m driving and couldn’t be happier
