[Carstuff] Took my car in for 15k service. Asked about strut creakiness. They said they can make a visual look but a full diagnosis would be a long time thing. The creakiness only seems to happen when I have bigger folks in the back so I'm just opting for the visual right now. More for timeliness sake

maybe suspension issue? hope not but usually creakiness makes me think suspension. at least if it's not clearly brake related

yea, it's likely suspension. Incidentally, the inspection recommended an alignment adjustment anyway (it was gonna get recommended anyway so no worries there), so hopefully that'll address it. It probably just need some lubrication

yeah hopefully that's all it is

car's still relatively new and the dashboard doesn't give any warnings about it, so I'm trying to not worry about it

they said they looked at the suspension and it looked fine, but to bring it back 'if it keeps bring a problem', which... it wasn't a problem before, it was just a weird sound.
