There is something I've noticed about my Z since I bought it. When I first sit in the cockpit (and sometimes when I exit) I usually hear a quick little metallic "creak" coming from what sounds to be the left rear wheel. I weigh under 180 so I'm not all that heavy or anything, and I make sure to enter the vehicle very slowly and gently. Obviously if I plop down the noise is a little louder. So is this normal or not normal and what should I do?
