Default Chassis creak?

hey i own a EK4 with 23mm rear sway 27mm front. 8kg,6kg spring rates.

when ever im on some angle going up a bump, or a driveway, my chassis is always making loud creaking noises. just wondering if anyone else experiences this?

its probly just normal, because i took the sound deadening off???

My guess is your suspension is pretty stiff causing the chassis to flex. It could be your bushings squeakin

it's probly your rear subframe breaking or cracking because they are not design to handle 23mm rear sway bar.

i dont think anything is breaking or cracking though. just wad twist when going up on angles, doesnt occur on corners or anything.
