I was doing my Spit's annual maintenance a couple of days ago,
and I checked the tightness of all the bolts on the driveshaft
and inner rear axle flanges (like the maintenance schedule says).

Lo and behold, all four bolts on the left rear axle flange were 
loose!  And I had been hearing an occasional bit of creaking 
fro the rear end recently.

The moral:  Don't forget to check those bolts!
