What's causing my Skoda Fabia to creak?

I bought a 2004 Skoda Fabia Combi last week. There is a bit of a squeaking from under the body every time you go over a speed bump. What's causing this do you think?

Hi Ian,

It's very difficult to assess such things from afar. It could just be dust and dirt in the wrong place or a stiff ball joint or bushing that needs to be replaced.

We advise you bring it to a mechanic to have a look at.
