Some 1987 Ninety-Eight models may develop a noise at the rear frame to body mounting area. The noise can originate on either side of the vehicle and
is caused by the position No. 3 frame to body insulator. The noise sounds like a creak in the door area and occurs on start and stop movement of the
vehicle.
To correct the condition, both No. 3 insulator assemblies must be replaced (even if the noise only came from one side) as follows:

Remove the No. 3 position insulator assembly and discard. Figure 1. Support the frame as necessary during this operation since the position 2
mount must also be loosened.
