Default Vert body sometimes creaks. is this normal?

Well, i don't know if its a vert-only issue but I notice the body makes creaking noises when I tutn onto small slopes. Don't remember it making the noise when I first got it. It only has 8600 miles on it. Anyone else notice this?

It is normal. Only fix is to trade for a Z06! :lol: LOL, I had a vert and It did the same thing. My Z06 only does it on really steep driveways.

It's normal. Mine creaks every morning when I back out of the garage. After the initial torque protest, I don't hear any more creaks the rest of the day even if it's in & out of the garage several times.
