Rear Suspension Noise

The driver's side rear susupension is making a creeky sound, when the car (01TL) travels over uneven grades in the road. I can not hear anything when traveling on level pavement. I would apprecaite "Been There Done That" Thanks in advance.

Rear Suspension Noise

As far as I know the suspension is stock. I bought the car used several months ago.

the car has 87,000 miles on the clock. This is my first Acura, is there any time frame on the life of the shocks?

shocks last about 40,000 miles or so. 87,000 on there now? I would definately buy yourself some new shocks, rent the strut spring compressor and go at it.

One of my front shocks started leaking at around 40K km. But most people have no problem with their shocks at even twice or 3x my mileage. So it really depends on how and where the car is driven. Driving on poor roads shortens shocks' life.
