    @steamedhams Bingo on the recording! "stepping on an old floorboard" is a great way to describe it. By the looks/sounds of it, I think we have the same issue.

    > 2. I can get the creaking at standstill on flat ground without moving by releasing then pressing the brake quickly

    I haven't tried this yet, but will and get back to you. Very much would like to get this properly diagnosed!
