My self I would jack up the back end. Check for play in any suspension joints, prop uj`s and wheel bearings. ( make sure any and all bearings are running true and not over heated).
Drop the wheels off check the brakes are ok, not seized etc. Excuse the spelling I`am better with spanners and wires. |

Face it dude you are just getting old.....
The squeaky groan Is an involuntary utterance,. You may find self also going "ooooooffffffffffffffffff" when standing up or sitting down. If it only happens when you are warm take your coat off before you set off. The clank is the sound of the unsecured Zimmer frame rearranging itself in the back of your truck. A good Overland equipper should be able to sort you out with a cunning arrangement to keep is in one place. Don't worry about either......but be very, very concerned if you find yourself ordering "comfy trousers" with an elasticated waist band from an advert in the Sunday colour supplement (actually just be concerned if you are reading the Sunday colour supplement!) A pleasure to help as ever  . |

I thought it was twist and shout?
On a side note, have a check of your A frame joint and radius arms  Running Restoration Thread http://www.defender2.net/forum/post323197.html#323197

OOhhhh.
At what age does this creak start to happen. I`ve just started to make a happy kind of groan when I sit down of an evening. I`am a little worried. Excuse the spelling I`am better with spanners and wires. |
