Rear creaking

Hi all. I've been getting what can only be described as some sort of a creaking noise coming from somewhere around the rear underside of my Dynamic which is even worse when going over speed ramps etc. It's been in twice now at the dealers and on the first visit a bolt needed tightening somewhere and on the second visit the rear anti roll bar bushes were changed apparently!! All seemed well for a while but now the same annoying noise has come back again.

Anyone else experiencing this and if so please tell me how to cure it.

I am experiencing multiple rear noise as well. Not sure if it sound like creaking noise.Sent to the dealer twice.


First time.
-changed the rubber holding the exhaust to the chassis.
(Good for ~10km then same sound happens again)






Second time
-Tighten/modify the heat shield.
-Readjust the tailgate rubber
-Tighten licence plate.
(Very Good/complete silent for ~150km then one of the noise occur again. This noise is very noticeable when the rear wheels depart from a speed bumps at low speed.)


Dealer readjusting the tailgate rubber(it stick out like fangs from the tailgate when you open the tailgate) did help eliminate the rattling noise when in low rev and reverse gear.Frankly I tighten this rubber couple weeks back as i though it suppose to be completely in. Obviously i was wrong.(this noise is now solved)






As for the heat shield, they said it was the heat shield hitting the exhaust pipe so they tighten and/or did some modification to the heat shield. Not sure exactly which location its hitting.
I am assuming the mod heating shield came loose again after a trip, because the modification help eliminate the noise for quite a long distance.


Will send it back to dealer see what they will do and keep you posted.


One last noise advise. Whenever the passenger seatbelt is used, it usually get caught on between the seat and the side(plastic) after unbuckled, which cause little noise.

Had the same problem. Turns out it was the rubber doors seals. These move as the body twists slightly (over speed bumps/mounting kerbs etc) and creak against the metal door frame. This is a KNOWN problem and Land Rover have a fix for this which involves changing out the door seals for ones with a slightly different compound. I had mine changed under warranty and it has completely cured the problem. speak to your dealer and you should have no more problems. Rob

Hi Rob. Thank you for sharing and good for you that yours had been fixed. The noise which i experience came from the boot area. It sound more like something loose and vibrating/resonance everytime over speed bumps. The rubber which you mention, it's the black rubber that seals water from getting through the doors right?

Thank you.

Update. My Car is in the Dealers for a similar knocking from the rear of the car, Land Rover have just rang to inform me that there was a Bulletin just realised dated 31st July stating all Evoque Dynamics to be recalled due to knocking from the suspension, new system setup to be enforced to fix the issues.
