when i was driving my car home after getting a new exhaust and thought i was muy chingon (bad a**) and hit a corner kinda fast

ever since then there has been a creaking like a old door being opened coming from the left rear of the car

when making left turns i hear it

but when making rights, nada

any ideas?

i put the car up on jacks and looked at the rear, everything looked great.. don't know whats going on....

I always like to look at the last thing that changed - The exhaust in this
case. I would put the stands under the axle tubes so the body is at
normal ride height - check for good clearance on the tailpipe - for the
shock absorber, for the gas tank strap, for the frame rail. If the shop
got the tailpipe too close it might rub something as the body shifts for
the left turn.

relic, you are correct, they had left the u-bolt that holds the pipe near the end, tightend it, and now, runs like a kitten...
