Here's the suituation. There is a groaning noise coming from what appears to be the rear left of my car. Not long before this I had my rear sway bar put in and the noise occured when I turn left. I had the car in for a service and asked them to see if they could work out what the noise was, I suggested that it could be the suspension. They "apparantly" checked it and it is "apparantly" fine. They didn't offer any other suggestions to what it could be.
The noise has started to get worse and now happens whenever I hit a bump or turn either way, even when I accelerate fast enough. I though it might be the exhaust (it is on the back left), but I just had it checked out and it is fine. Got under the car with him myself and everything looks in place, nothing is loose or rubbing up against anything.
So now I'm back to my original thought that it is the suspension, as it sounds like a spring or something metal being pulled or rubbed. Plus I don't really trust that the mechanic had a good look the first time.
So if anyone has any ideas, please let me know. I will take all ideas and present them to the mechanic (probably not the same one) and see if they can find the problem.
Thanks!
