Took my car to another more experienced shop to get the insanely loud rear suspension creaking diagnosed. The culprit was not the poly bushings in the rear LCAs, but rather the spring rubbing on the OEM metal dust boot (specified by TEIN to be used for the rear coil assemblies). The shop simply applied as much lithium grease as they could on the dust boot and lo and behold all creaking and squeaking is gone, though, it is more of a temporary fix than a permanent. I have already emailed TEIN to see if this is a known issue because as far as I'm aware there are no aftermarket dust boots available for the Element, if that would even make a difference? Could the metal dust boots be bent or something so that the spring is rubbing on it?
